Glad to hear you're doing well, Strix.
Whoa. Good myth.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Yay, Strix!
Not so yay, Scandinavian not so comedy.
I have an eyebrow and cheekbone ache AKA a sinus headache of Doom. Bad enough that one of my coworkers kept commenting on how bad I looked.
After work I stopped by Target and got some Nutella. I deserve a treat.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
OH HAI NEW THREAD!

Compassionately intolerant
I have a question for the sewing people among us.
I am using a Singer Inspiration 4212 for the first time. (inherited from my surrogate mom when she moved)
I've watched the video and read the manual to ensure that I had not forgotten how to properly make a bobbin and thread the machine. Turns out the threading is remarkably similar to the two Featherweights I use.
Problem...the thread balls up on the bottom of the fabric, as if the tension is wrong. I've adjusted and readjusted everything I can think of to fix it, to no avail.
There does not seem to be a feed dog adjuster and the manual does not address this problem.
Anyone have an idea of what is going on? Google is not helping me!

I cannot help you, bonny. This is why I don't sew by machine. I will spend hours hand sewing to avoid using the machine. I generally rip out every seam at least once. My favorite thing to do with a sewing machine is throw it out the window.
Perhaps someone with a mellower relationship with sewing machines can offer advice.
Windsparrow, I am your sister in sinus headaches. I hope you fine relief. Hot compresses occasionally help mine.
Zen, sorry about the disappointing movie. And Strix, yay for good hair and good times!

And Sean, what they all said about the job. You'll find stuff about Atlanta to love. Aside from the 50K and the bennies!

Usually the balling up issue is caused by the top thread not being threaded right, a small piece of thread caught in the feed dogs from previous problems, or the bobbin thread going in the wrong direction. You could also try switching needles.

Our wings are not tired.
Marking Sophia's post for the next time this happens to me...
