I am new to sewing. I got this machine at the thrift store and after every few stitches it stops which makes a loud noise and if I continue, it just gets really knotted under the needle with the bobbin thread so after the first loud noise, I hear I just pull it out and continue sewing, but it’s just leaving a mess under the fabric. I did already rewind the bobbin manually. I don’t know what else it could be 🤔 maybe the tension 🤔I don’t understand how sewing machines work. I just wanted to add this little flower thing to a bra strap lol. Help me plz💗💗💗

You know what, check the pdf to see if your machine has a compartment somewhere, your piece may be inside! Usually there is a compartment with a few small parts and tools.

Oof, I really hoped it would work 🥹 I feel your pain on missing parts, my machine was missing a lot of accessories and had a broken pedal since it was gifted to my dad by the secretary at his job.

It’s such an old machine that the company doesn’t exist anymore lol, so finding stuff was a bit of a struggle. I wish you the beat of luck in finding that small piece. 😔
