I got the sewing machine blues......

my sewing machine is unhappy.

I took it apart and oiled it last night.

readjusted the tensions

I've been meaning to replace the needle plate & bobbin cover - so I emailed the local place to see if/when/how much.

I think it might just be bad thread though....

oh well - I'm going to change this barely used new needle out for a different new one and see if that makes a difference.

but it isn't like I'm working on anything important ...........just plain cotton bags for the dancers to store their fans in.
