Dear Tumblr,
I need some help here. I recently took up sewing. I am doing everything by hand so far, and I’m quite ok with that, BUT.
I found this old toy sewing machine at my parents’ and I was trying to make it work, with no success whatsoever. It does turn on, and the needle goes up and down with a terrible noise, but it does not sew.
I cannot find any source online on thingy: it is like it never existed. There is no info about who made it on the box, and scant info on who distributed it (and none that pops up on the internet). It was gifted to me ca. 2004 (though it might have been a recycled gift of some sorts, and as such much older), and I cannot remember it ever working. I do not have a manual of any kind, and I am pretty sure it was never in my possession.
I am not even quite sure where I am supposed to put the thread (apart from the needle, it is). I put it around the bobbin-like thing with the arrow, then through the hole in the little lever and through the needle, but something is off and makes little sense in this set up.
Is there anyone who can help me out?
It’s not that I cannot afford a normal sewing machine (although it would be quite an investment and I would like to do it at a later date) but it bums me I cannot use this thing 😂
