Article: Place the spool of thread on the spool pin at the top of the machine. Hold it in place by slipping the spool holder onto the pin, as well. If you are using a small spool of thread, place the cap on the pin so that the small side is next to the spool. Feed the thread through the thread guides and around the bobbin winder tension discs.  Snap the thread into the small plastic thread guide lying directly to the left of the spool pin. With the thread held in place by the thread guide, wind the thread clockwise around the bobbin winder tension discs in front of the guide. Insert the thread through the top hole of the empty bobbin spool.  Feed the thread through from the inside so that the tail is still on the outside of the bobbin. If you're using a bobbin with holes on both sides, only slip the thread through one hole. Place the bobbin on the bobbin winding spindle, located to the far right of the machine. Lock the spindle in place.  The tail of thread should still stick out through the top of the bobbin. To lock the spindle in place, push the bobbin as far to the right as it will go. This sets the machine to its "bobbin winding" mode. Hold the thread tail and gently step on the foot control pedal. The machine should begin to wind the bobbin.  If desired, you can let go of the thread tail after the bobbin has wound a few rotations, but doing so is not necessary. The machine should automatically stop once the bobbin is full. Note that the hand wheel should not turn and the machine should not sew while the machine is in its bobbin winding mode. Cut the thread to separate the bobbin from the spool. Unlock the bobbin winding spindle and lift the bobbin away to remove it.  Unlock the spindle by pushing it back to the left. Note that the machine will not sew until the bobbin winding spindle is back in its left position. You should also trim the tail of thread sticking out from the top bobbin hole after removing the bobbin.

Position the spool of thread. Guide the thread. Feed the thread through the bobbin eye. Set the bobbin in place. Step on the foot control pedal. Remove the finished bobbin.
Article: For most projects, you can keep the metal socket piece intact. If you only want the actual glass bulb for your project, however, you will need to remove the socket piece before continuing.  You may want to remove this piece for visual aesthetics. Another reason to remove it would be to create as large an opening at the base of the bulb as possible. If you want to reattach the metal socket after removing it, you can do so by simply applying a little glue to the top edge and pressing it back onto the bottom of the glass bulb. Place a shallow amount of Muriatic acid in a glass bowl. Rest the attached socket in this acid and let it soak for 24 hours.  Muriatic acid is a powerful cleansing agent often used for cleaning toilet bowls and other heavily stained plumbing surfaces. Only use enough acid to submerge the metal part of the bulb. After soaking the socket, remove it from the acid and rinse it well under running water.  Use a little soap or a mild base, like baking soda, to neutralize the acid still clinging to the surface of the bulb socket. Wear gloves while working to protect your fingers from the harsh chemical. Hold the bulb firmly with one hand, then slowly twist the socket off the bottom with your other hand.  The acid should have dissolved the powerful adhesive glue holding the metal socket to the glass, making the socket loose and fairly easy to remove. If done carefully, you should be able to avoid breaking any glass at the bottom of the bulb.

Ask yourself if this is necessary. Soak the socket in Muriatic acid. Clean off the acid. Carefully twist off the metal socket.
Article: Smiling is an essential part of good flirting. Studies have shown that smiling makes you more attractive to the opposite sex -- so what are you waiting for? Flash those pearly whites!   Smiling and laughing also makes you seem much more approachable to men. Which is good if you've been dying for that guy across the bar to come over and talk to you! Smiling will also make you feel happier and more confident, two very important feeling when it comes to flirting. Making and holding eye contact is a classic flirting technique which is as effective now as it was hundreds of years ago!  There's something intimate about looking a person directly in the eyes, so making eye contact is a good way to communicate your interest without saying a word. One trick that guys find particularly irresistible is to stare at the object of your interest until they catch you looking. Hold eye contact for a moment, then smile and look away (while blushing , if possible). He'll be hooked! No matter how beautiful you look, how good you smell or how bright your smile, you won't be able to hold a guy's attention for long if you can't hold your own in a conversation.  Ask lots of questions -- this gets the guy talking about himself and gives him a chance to show off, which men love. It also prevents you from talking about yourself too much, which can come off as self-centered. When you're talking, try to drop the guy's name into the conversation as much as possible. As simple as it sounds, this is actually a big turn-on for guys and creates a sense of intimacy between you. Try to find some common ground, whether it's a love of black and white movies or a passion for your local ice hockey team. This shows him that you're compatible with one another and will allow the conversation to flow more easily. If you've got a good conversation going with your man of interest, you can reel him in even further by breaking the touch barrier.  By making physical contact, you're signalling your interest while also setting his senses tingling and making him want you even more. The contact can be very subtle -- a light touch on the arm or shoulder, an "accidental" brush of your hand against his, or a gentle lean against his shoulder. If you're feeling really bold, you can be a little more forthcoming by pretending to fix his collar, tie or hair so you can brush your fingers against his neck or forehead. This also gives you an excuse to get a little closer to him, so take advantage by smiling and making eye contact as you make your move. One of the most important tricks when it comes to flirting is to always leave the guy wanting more. This makes you a little bit mysterious and unattainable and allows the guy to experience the thrill of the chase.  Don't wait until the conversation becomes awkward or boring, try to leave things on a high note. This will require some serious self-control, but the results will be worth it. Take some initiative and give the guy your number before you leave. You can write it on a scrap of paper and slip it into his pocket, or you can grab his phone and enter it into your contacts. Men love forward-thinking women who are willing to go after what they want.  As you leave, lean in towards him as if for a kiss, but at the last minute turn your head and whisper "I had a great time" in his ear. With those words you'll have him wrapped around your little finger and he won't be able to resist calling you for a date!
