Hi all, I've recently picked up a very old singer sewing machine. I don't have the best of knowledge of sewing machines but after hours of trying, I still can't get it to work 100% (mainly problems with thread tension).


Does anyone know a local place I could take the machine to see about getting it fixed? It's very heavy!


Thanks so much!

Thread tension could well be more to do with your bobbin? Once bobbin is loaded with thread you should be able to hold up the bobbin by the thread without it rolling down. If the bobbin spirals downwards you need to tighten the wee screw on the bobbin case until it holds. Good luck!

      Signed, and I will share it elsewhere, thank you for posting this. It's got nearly 70,000 signatures at present, and apparently runs till February.

      There’s a couple of Gov petitions going on in relation to fireworks at the moment but this one is for banning them entirely except organised displays if anyone wants to sign. This is the only sensible way forward in my view. No one should be able to let them off in gardens or anywhere like that, it’s crazy. I am surprised some of you have said it hasn’t been as bad this year. I live near DKH Saino and it’s been absolutely terrible my way for days. This petition gained about 20,000 just in the last day or so so clearly the appetite is there! https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/732559

      I'd have thought they could use some of  their income from hiring out a large part of Brockwell Park in the summer (therefore, as I understand it, preventing local residents from using much of it) to put on a firework display there  in the autumn which might somewhat make up to those residents for the previous loss of use of the park. And also generate goodwill.
