Motor update. I had a disastrous attempt. More dropped stitches, then tried to make a tube using pound of yarn only to find the machine did not like it, I tried reducing the tension and it was better but the wool would not flow, I tried machine weights but they jammed against the inside of machine although it was better so I gave up for today.😡😡😪😪😭 Photos of finished items below to make me feel better 🙂🙂
