i bought a real nice older sewing machine
the date on it says 1896
the guy i bought it from converted it over to an electric motor some years ago
the things a beast!!
my problem is
i filled the bobbin and threaded the machine
but the thread isnt holding
the back side of the material that lays on the machine seems to have alot of thread on it and when take it out of the machine it falls apart

You need a walking foot upholstery machine for havy duty stuff, sounds like your timeing is of you can take it to a local dealer and have it serviced
