Help! Antique Singer Sewing Machine Problems!!

[emmalouisecherry]

Hello,

I hope you can help, I have a beautiful antique sewing machine that seems to be giving up on me...

My boyfriend had it serviced for my birthday last february and seemded to be fine for a while, but now whenever I sew the thread pulls really tight and snaps, or doesn't sew at all. I've tryed playing with the tension but it seems too tight or too loose. Where am I going wrong?

P.S. I'm a complete novice, had to teach myself to thread it out of a book, but a friends checked it and she says its right...

Does the servicing have a warranty?? that seems really fast for it to have messed up already! I would call the place and ask if they can take a look at it again and do it for free to at least for a discount! Servicing is not cheap!

Aye fair enough, I might just give that a try...
