This is why I’ve been quiet lately – my sewing machine’s been out of action, and I’ve only just got it back!
Before Christmas it had started acting up a bit – the upper thread would get caught in the bobbin mechanism, and I’d have to disentangle it all every few minutes. I mentioned this when I took the machine in for its annual service, and the lovely Sue at Sewmaster told me that they’d replaced the entire bobbin support casing.
I was a bit worried that this would have added quite a lot to the price of the service, but the extra cost of this repair turned out to be a grand total of £3.98. A bargain!
Now to work on a couple of test pieces until the extra oil from the service has worked its way through the machine, and then I can get on with some proper sewing!
