I finally got the nerve to start up my new Singer Simple. I watched the DVD that came with it and sat down to fill the bobbin.
THE DAMN BOBBIN WOULDN'T TURN.
I read online to see if I'd done something wrong. I called Singer. They said it sounded like the machine was defective and to just return it. I was sad.
So we traded it for a new one. And it works! I filled the bobbin, threaded the machine, and sure, the tension on the thread was too loose at first, but I was able to fix a skirt and run another experimental seam on a trashed t-shirt.
I broke a needle, but that is all me because I forgot to raise the presser foot.
I have plans.
