Machine Shaming

Inspired by this blog post from Urban Threads, I took a couple of pictures of what had happened to me today, literally moments before I saw the post. (Yes, I was taking a frustration break.)

Trying to stitch out something I've done several times, I decided I didn't need to completely keep an eye on dear old Rudy there, until I heard a tell-tale *clunk*. Somehow it had managed to wind the upper thread around the bobbin, so desperately, after I cut the project out of the tangle, I had to actually break the bobbin to get it out of the guts of the machine. What a mess.

Seems fine now... But it canNOT be proud of itself...
