Question by Kantorerra: What to do after threading a (Singer) sewing machine?
Hi!
I’m using my mum’s old sewing machine, and I’m teaching myself how to use it. (I remember the basics from sixth grade, but this is a different brand than the kind we used at school, not to mention that was almost five years ago)
I found a good tutorial on youtube on how to thread the machine. At the end, it says to thread the needle, and that’s it. So, I put the thread through the needle. But whenever I move the needle, the thread always comes loose. Was there something I missed? Am I supposed to tie it up or something?
Please help! I’m really confused.
