Then play with the machine -- learn how to change threads, adjust pressure foot, adjust material thickness, change needles and use different types of materials.....get used to changing out the bobbin threads as well as the hoop arms to go from flats to hats! And most of all, ENJOY the machine and don't be afraid of it. Welcome to the Amayas!
