But I have had nothing but difficulty with my bobbin/casing since I started using my new machine.  It has broken needles, punctured plastic and even broken a bobbin casing in half. My previous machine was a brother and I was expecting great things, but I have to say that I’m disappointed even though I keep trying and making sure I’ve followed directions from the manual just thinking I’ve done something wrong. 
I love my brother but it doesn’t love me
