Oh you are sweet
I wish we were closer too! I am just terrible with machines in general. I had decided that it must be a tension issue but retrospectively I thinks I was just stubbornly using the wrong thread (I was dying natural fabrics and using cotton thread) and I am just generally poorly organized, lol. So I am the proud owner of a fancy serger and three sewing machines and a beautiful sewing cupboard and no time and no space! I have recently begun using synthetic material but had a different focus back then. Who knows? I may be ready to try again sooner than later. Thanks for the encouragement!
