Things I always check when something is wrong is whether the machine is threaded right, whether the needle needs replacing or if there's not too many layers/too thick fabric in the machine.

I got this sewing machine from my grandmother (brand new, she got it for a gift). i dont have good experiences so far, if I push a pedal slow it doesnt even start to sew, I have to turn the side wheel with hand. Sometimes it jams and the needle wont go anywhere, even if I push it by hand with a side wheel... Do you have any idea what could be wrong? It is very frustrating, becouse you can not control stiches...

Can you tell me if it is possible to sew anything but straight lines with it. I was thinking of curves round the toes of a stocking. I tried it yesterday with the foot up and the thread just went all loose on the back. Might be obvious but I'm new to sewing machines.

I had never sewn before so I decided to go for a basic sewing course. At the course everybody had fancy, old style sewing machine and mine looked like a toy one. Well, they all had problems with fabric jam, jumping stitches, while I sewed with no problems. Now it is becoming a bit too noisy and I noticed that I have to clean it up quite frequently, but as you mentioned quilting for example, I already quilted a couple of runners and a baby quilt and it was ok. As I become more "expert" I'm thinking to move to something more serious, but they are too expensive so let's see. pakirunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17047628590933212725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7231851009583519283.post-21350013308150137502015-08-21T09:18:42.265+02:002015-08-21T09:18:42.265+02:00I sewed a denim pencil case with Sy and it worked ...I sewed a denim pencil case with Sy and it worked just fine.pakirunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17047628590933212725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7231851009583519283.post-2830630191362149482015-06-12T22:06:19.055+02:002015-06-12T22:06:19.055+02:00It doesn't seem like it does zipper stitches. ...It doesn't seem like it does zipper stitches.
