It has never made a seam properly, maybe 3ft during 2 years or so that I have owned the machine, most of the time it does randomly either thread escaping from needle or machine gets stuck, because upper thread gets tangled with metal part underside section of machine, see video and photos, maybe helps to understand.
Adjusting tension can make one or another issue to be more common, but it is either one or another that happens and it is quite random which happens. Machine is threaded correctly, at least if instructions in manual are correct, Singer's tutorial video about threading machine is not correct, they thread it wrong way, in their video they have machine threaded correct way later, but they do show it wrong, at least according to manual and other guides.
So I have tension set to 4, I have had it set to 3 and there is bit less machine getting stuck issue (issue 2) then, but lot more of thread escaping needle issue (issue 1). Bobbing tension is set so that it barely holds it's own weight as was instructed in some tutorial.
This is thread escaping needle issue, which results me trying to thread a needle for 10 minutes or so as I can't really see and I'm rather clumsy:
This is machine getting stuck issue:
I wanted to attach that plastic thing to battery holder of my bike light as it had become loose, but that 1/2" was too much to ask from this machine.
I thought being clever, thinking it would be easier to learn sewing than getting married, I start to feel being cheated
