Since I bought it, it has only ever done straight stitches no matter what setting I use; also the tension settings don't seem very effective and stitch sizes are the same no matter what number I have it on. When sewing it also misses every few stitches so it looks like this _ _ __ _ ___ instead of _ _ _ _ _ _ . I know I should have taken it back when I first bought it but it's too late now & I have moved overseas. Is there anything I can look at myself to get it working properly?

Hello Terri,
It seems like you need to retime the machine, I can attach instructions if you email me, type my address as you say it not as you see it because this site no longer allows email addresses to be shown
