I carefully threaded according to the instructions.

I did several test seams the were beautiful.

Started working on a project.

Now the under side is a rats nest of tangled broken threads.

I’ve rethreaded the machine presser foot up.

I’ve reinstalled the bobbin.

I’ve held slight tension on the thread tails.

None of this works. I still have a mess of ratty broken threads on the bottom and mangled fabric.

This is literally a brand new out of the box first time being used machine.

What am I doing wrong?

I moved to Texas a few years ago. Where I’m from we have these things called flea markets that sold old collectibles or furniture or crafts. Sometimes the store is broken into booths that all seek on behalf of a different person.

I’ve not been able to find anything similar here. Or even a consignment shop that isn’t just outrageous.

I’m looking for some furniture. I don’t want 1000s dollar or “antique” just some basics.

Are there stores like that here? I’m on southwest side.
