    I once had a £35 library fine.

    Entire library smuggled into Leeds resident's flat

    Suspicions were raised when police called at Ames' flat to find her unable to open the door due to the vast quantity of books inside.
    When the officer exclaimed "What the Dickens?" He was shown to the correct section and informed that Dickens was currently 2 for 1

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Is this site any help?

    http://knittsings.com/how-to-thread-a-knitting-machine-brother-studio-singer-silver-reed/

    Looks to have instructions for setting up and threading the machine, with photos.

    Never used one so no idea if that will help!

    Those are better instructions i'm better with either being shown what to do or picture instructions :)

    I didn't realise you'd been taking photos when you came here Linda!

    I had three books that were a few months overdue - I was very depressed at the time, I'd taken an overdose, and completely forgotten I had them. I also had uni ones and they wanted £150 in fines, but because I had to drop out it wasn't an issue.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.
