Put The Needle In The Right Way Around...ok?

[Handstitched]

G'Day,

After repairing horse rugs with my Seiko STW28B all day, I bent a needle....it happens.

So,I changed the needle and while I was at it, I also cleaned and oiled the machine up, as some rugs can be quite dusty .

But when I started sewing again, nothing was going right, my stiches were 'codging up' underneath, my thread was breaking when I reversed, and the machine just didn't sound right, I just put it down to too much oil somewhere or my tensions were all over the place, it was going perfect all day otherwise... ( the client also desperately needed their horse rug back for the weekend) .I ended up finishing the rug off on my Colt....around 11pm.

The next day I went about solving my problem, on the Seiko.

After a few hours of checking and re-checking , pulling my hair out from frustration , I checked the needle, it was in the WRONG WAY AROUND. groove to the right, scarf to the left.

DUH!!!!!!

I was tired and it was late...that my excuse!!
