I had some real struggles with the Heavy Duty Singer. It was working fine and then I think the tension got off? Or something. 90 minutes of being baffled until I gave up and switched to one of the Wimsews which was perfectly well behaved.
I don’t know the proper name for it, it’s going to be a little patch that you open to put the garment on.
I ran out of time to finish it today, because of the Singer. A pal did point out that perhaps because the fabric I was using was so lightweight that’s what was throwing the singer off?
