I LOVE my sewing machine…..
Actually, I love BOTH of my sewing machines…..
But I have never truly understood how they worked!!
A few days ago, while perusing the internet as I spun on my Elliptical Machine at the gym, I found this great YouTube video that goes a LONG way to explaining how it works…..
Now, I have a bit better understanding of why my tension gets wonky and what happens when the timing gets off.
I hope that this helped you to better understand your machines!!
