I've been looking at this sewing machine for a while. The cheapest I've found so far is £69. I checked again on amazon this morning and it's now £64.99. its got a good reviews as well. Perfect for a newbie like me
Hold the thread that's under the needle and this machine specs plastic bobbins instead of metal ones as metal may damage the machine & void the warranty.

You use bobbins to contain the lower thread & then it goes in the machine.
You need one bobbin for each colour thread, and you can get bobbin cases off eBay for £1.50ish (from China, takes a fortnight or so to arrive).
I find my brother sewing machine will only accept genuine bobbins, not the generic ones, which is a shame as they're so much more expensive!
Tip: don't buy really cheap thread, from experience I've found that it snaps and the bobbin thread tension goes awry.

Same machine £69.99 in Argos at moment - they are great if anything goes wrong and you have to take it back!

Saw this yesterday and ordered for Mothers day for the wife, she's always fancied a sewing machine and my latest TCB just cleared so cashed out as amazon voucher & cost me NOTHING
Anyway don't forget to order PLASTIC bobbins for it AND spare needles too all can be had cheaply on amazon

Honestly can't tell if you are taking the p!ss or serious. Well done. Dry British humour at its best.
