I just came across this post. It warms my heart to know I am not the only one that had to battle the Brother Beast. I am not a seamstress in any way and bought mine reconditioned ages ago. I had exactly the same issue as you. The damn bobbin! It took me 3 or 4 times longer for me to complete a project then it should of. Finally got it working and now it wont wind. I just moved and guess what… its one of the only things that broke in the shipment. Any ideas what to replace it with?

I just started learning to sew myself, It can be a bit frustrating but I am determined to stick with it and hopefully my skills will improve.

This is just a comment to bring your total for this post up to 667 comments. ;) Oh, and my Mom always wanted to teach me to sew and I refused as a kid because I thought it was boring and too hard, but now after reading this I’m realizing maybe there is hope for me! I may just have to buy myself an Oh, Brother after reading about your more recent success using it. :)

I can so identify with you! I have a love/hate relationship with my sewing machine. Makes me pray hard, seing as it is usually a last minute project or costume, and it would be really nice if turned out perfect!

I know this is an older post but I laughed so hard b/c I last summmer I got an IKEA sewing machine b/c it was 2012 resolution to learn how to sew. And when I finally took it out of the box, I swear I had almost the same experience as this. Except believe me you got further in your quest than I did. I blogged about it as well b/c it was so embarrassing that I had to share the complete hilariousness of not being able to sew a single stitch and thinking “where the hell is my Heat N Bond”. Great entry!
