Discovering a sewing machine, part 2: problems and solutions

Most sewing machine ‘breakdowns’ are threading or needle problems. A tangle under the fabric means the top thread is mis-threaded — rethread with the presser foot up. Skipped stitches or a noisy needle: change the needle (and use the right type). Don’t pull the fabric: let the feed dogs do the work.
