No longer upside-down and backwards / New Jersey / March 2010

This is the happy day of the girl, who had been hand-sewing for two years, finally gathering her wits about her to attempt to diagnose the problem with her sewing machine and discovering (after studying and studying the drawings in the manual), that she hadn't broken the machine, but rather, in a sewing frenzy she had put the shuttle race cover in upside-down and backwards — thus jamming the bobbin and preventing the needle from moving.
