Thanks, I was tempted to take you up on your offer, but after reading the manual it turned out to be several things, including the top part not threaded properly. Also wrong:
Bobbin inserted backwards
Bobbin tension too high
Top thread was catching on the slit in the spool which you tuck the thread into when you're done - I need to get those long, slender machine spools instead of the hand-sewing spools.
The dial to set the speed with which the cloth travels through the foot was set to zero, so the cloth was just sitting there
All of those things fixed, I have now successfully hemmed my first pair of cutoffs. Yee-ha!

You can still come over and meet the cats...
