Question, and please, I am trying not to offend: You used the word "taught," which implies teaching; did you mean "taut?" I looked up your usage because it looked off, but also found this.
Taut means tight rather than slack. It sounds like the word "taught" and means stretched tight, like a rope, muscles, or even nerves.
I bought a subscription and look forward to more articles!
Hello Robin, no offense taken. That is definitely a typo by me, it should say "taught" instead of "taught." Thank you for being a paid subscriber, it means a lot and I really appreciate it. Soon I'll be sending out some stuff exclusive to paid-subscribers, so keep your eyes peeled.
I really enjoyed your article, and will keep that information for future use. I rarely look at my e-mail since retirement, but see that you have them on your facebook account so will read them there. Thank you.
I love your emails and this new experimental newsletter and also learn something new every time! I am also interested in learning more about the automatic needle threader! Another thing I would love to learn more about is the automatic knot tying/thread cutting functionality; sewing machines are so amazing.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your wealth of knowledge with all of us, and thank you also for all of your help and time answering questions whenever I call in or visit the store :)
Thank you for the kind words, Heidi. Last week I published an article about needle threaders that you can find on the newsletter's main page. It's part 1 of a 2 part series; I plan on publishing part 2 this weekend
Love the newsletter and I feel I learn something new each time. thank you. I am interested in more detailed articles on why the automatic threader and how to use it so it does not get off kilter so easily. I am also interested in walking feet and when to use them and dual feed mechanisms thanks
Thanks for the newsletter. I sew on both modern and vintage machines (and a few industrial ones as well) so I appreciate what’s good about each one. One thing I will say is that on a lot of vintage machines, it’s perfectly feasible for someone to adjust the timing of hook and needle themselves if they are reasonably handy. It’s not that hard. Love the posts - keep them coming
Great article and so useful.

still typo... " it should say "taught" instead of "taught." "
Still wrong. I think you meant "taught," not "taught."
Very informative, ty
Thanks! I found this very helpful.
I found your article quite interesting. I would love to get into machine repair and this just emphasizes my desire.
Love it! Very well written piece that explains the method of machine stitching. I found it extremely useful. Thank you

Thank you for the kind words, Lee. I will definitely put together a comprehensive needle-threader guide and walking foot deep-dive in the near future.
I love your newsletters and file them all.
I appreciate the kind words, Sue. Thank you.
I have a new to me Singer cg500.
It doesn't pick up the bobin thread.
Also the needle actually bends or defelects left with each attempted stich.
New needles do likewise.
Suggestions?
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. These articles are extremely interesting and informative. 🙂
Fabulous explanation, great videos too. Many thanks
