Machine love

Even brand new sewing machines are not immune to fluff, it seems. Me being a bit of a technical dunce about these things, I tried every possible solution from the manual (and probably some other irrelevant ones too) before eventually curing my repeatedly-broken bobbin thread problem by getting up close and personal with a screwdiver and the machine's inner workings.



Having got all down and dirty with its nooks and crannies (I performed a rather intimate, gentle toothbrushing-style action and then I blew), I actually I love this machine even more than I did before. Which frankly is out of all proportion for a mechanised home-economics device, even if it was Very Expensive.
