Sewing machines are a barrell of laughs.

I got some screws to mount the seam folder onto the machine on Friday, so I decided to mess around with the machine and see what I could make it do.

After a while of winding bobbins and threading up the machine I found that rather than sew, it wanted to be the first singer 212G to land on the moon. It was rocking and shaking all over the place.

So after a few hours of “setting up”, 2 things were concluded:

1. We need a new belt.
2. Unless we want the white thread to turn oily golden brown, we need to give the machine a good clean.

Oh and DAMN! I am not sure how many people have used a machine like this before but they get absolutely smoking (fast) when you put your foot down, I think some adjustments are in need to make it easier to manage the speed.

Today should see panels B + C cut.
