I’ve got a Bachelor’s Degree, a 140+ I.Q, and three books from the library, and I STILL can’t figure out how to thread a fucking goddamn sewing machine.
I feel like a fucking moron. I want to cry. And the instructional video for Sheryl’s sewing machine won’t come out of the goddamn box.
How am I supposed to make a Totoro fursuit if I can’t even make the goddamned machine go?
Motherfucking goddamn fuck.
Update #1: Managed to remove VHS tape from box, sacrificing one fingernail in the process. Am about to watch said video.
Update #2: See? All I needed was a walkthrough. The nice lady on the tape (who looked like she was from 1986, even though the video was made in 2002) was very helpful in showing me how to thread the goddamn sewing machine. I wouldn’t have guessed any of that. Loop it through the who-huh? Tension spring? Wha…?
Anyway, I guess all’s well that ends well, whatever that means. I now have a piece of brown cloth that has half-black and half-brown test stitching haphazardly sewn through it.
This could be fun. Challenging, but fun.
ahahahahahHHAHAHAHA i so felt the same way when i got that blasted thing 😛
keep in mind that that thing is a piece of crap. “real” sewing machines handle much better. expensive ones. $300+ ones. my aunt’s $1,500 embroidery/sewing machine practically sews for you.
and dont even get me started on the wonders that are sergers: http://www.sewvacdirect.com/janomesergers.html.
