Selecline

My sewing machine, Selecline, was bought couple months ago in Auchan supermarket. I decided to buy it instead of Singer or Brother because, of course, it's cheaper. The price was 59 EUR.

The first time I used, it had some problems with the thread. Broken and broken, stucked into the machine. After several trials, I gave up. I did not have much time to handle that machine.

Last week, I planned to buy a new machine from my savings. It had to be better. It might be Brother. I found a specialist store in Montargis that sells Brother. That store can repair too. It sounds perfect.

Unfortunately, we did not go there last weekend because we called the store and it seemed they're still on summer holidays. No one responded. So, I was back to the Selecline but previously I checked on the internet about the problem. It was not easy to read the manual since it is in french ;D, so I thought I could find similar problem (with different brands) in English speaking countries. I found some information.

And yesterday, I changed the bobbin and thread. The machine then worked better. I don't think I will buy a new one now.

For you who just bought Selecline and a first timer like me, perhaps this link can help you a little bit. It's a video by using Shark Sew Easy (612C) machine and it looks exactly the same with my Selecline. Also, this link will help you about changing the needle.

The great thing is, the manual of Shark 612C in PDF! It's in english, french and spanish.

Let's sew!
