Frustrating. NOT good for kids
The top thread keeps breaking! And before anyone asks if I'm certain everything is set properly, the answer is yes! I've gone over the instructions several times, watched videos on how to trouble-shoot, replace threads, set tension, etc. But, in order to get my top and bottom stitches even, I have to set the tension higher. In fact, it's so high that if I don't loosen the thread by hand before I pull the fabric out, it snaps the needle. If I don't set the tension that high, then the thread in the bobbin holder gets all tangled, as well as on the bottom of the fabric. If a child had to use this, the parent might end up throwing it against the wall instead, because it's so difficult to thread through those tiny spaces..
over and over and over and over and over and over... again.
