Singer 9217, stitches aren't catching?
A friend of mine bought me a sewing machine at an auction. It didn't come with a manual, so I'm not sure if I'm threading it properly. But I got it all threaded and the bobbin in there, but now when I try to sew, most of the stitches don't catch. I've adjusted the tension and rethreaded a few times, but nothing seems to work. Could the machine just be a dud?
