Clare !!!

Do you know how to thread up an old singer turn handle type sewing machine ?

yup! ive got one...

il take a pic and show you, why, have you got one too???

Yep G wants to play with it, but we dont have a bobbin, and even if we did we dunno how to thread it

G reckons she has a bobbin at her dads, so we will play on wednesday I think

ok, well shall we go to the cinema on weds instead and then i cud come over and show her! its two for one night on weds!

But I'll have g on wednesday, so cant go to pics then,,

this should be in the tec forum

But we are also discussing the pics. Plus, she wouldn't have seen it in tech..

I'm not overly fussed on going to the pics if you have plans for tuesday tho .. it's gonna cost over 7quid even on the cheap tueday night

is it? blimey!! i thought cheep nite was cheeper!! lol!!

oh, is it because its a 3d film?

yep, extra cuz its 3d film and extra again for the glasses,, reckon i may wait for it to come out on dvd ! Assuming it will be out on dvd in 3d..

Dont forget to tell her how the bobbin winder works!
Great diagram Clare
Think i've got some bobbins somewhere..i'll have a look

I do have a bobbin ! Least I think it's a bobbin, it's a bit conical at one end and looks a bit complicated ! ... I thought the bit where the reel goes should have a bobbin yesterday

this is a very excellent pic of a bobbin with thread. . . . . . .

i no nothing about this but i do like the word BOBBIN

BOBBINS

Brill pic clare..can you explain/illustrate how you put thread on thhe bobbin,or do you wanna big laugh when a boy trys to explain it??

nope!! lol!! im not even going to try Pete!!
I did offer to go round to Lisa's to do it for them, I think that'l be MUCH better than my dodgy explanations!

i recon i could thread one up . i did one about 24 years ago and i think the old magic is still there

Jayna popped round and threaded it But the thread kept breaking, but we think that's cuz its very old thread, or the tension is wrong, she suggested I get it serviced.

And the bobbin looks nowt like that bobbin up there ^^

oh! is it long and pointy on one end?

Yep Does that make it work shitloads ???
