In order to kick start my stalled Belle project, I decided to spreed things up by using the Ruffler attachment. The only machine I have at home which will take one of these is the Featherweight.
Took her out of the box and set her up to do miles and miles of net and organza. She really does stitch beautifully, and so quiet!
Fixed the Ruffler on, tested on cotton first, then net, all OK. The minute I tried to sew the organza, the whole lot came to a halt. I knew immediately that it was thread jam in the bobbin area - again.
Stopped everything, tipped her up, and saw the offending thread. I tried to pluck it out, but only managed to snap it....
This time however, I couldn't remove the bobbin assembly at all. I think it is well and truly broken.....
Anyone know of any videos, or tutorials other than the Featherweight Shop ones. These are helpful, but rely on the assembly coming out easily when the gib mechanism is released.
For now, I need to find another machine which plays well with a ruffler....
