All cloth is fabric but not all fabric is cloth.
@Kurai ‘s Gutermann link is best to understand thread and such.
I don’t think anyone here is saying all machines are equal or that it’s not worth upgrading, only that the chances of user error is much higher than machine fault.
I loved my domestic machine but it just wasn’t cut out for doing anything like my ‘industrial’ machines. I’d find it difficult to use a domestic now that I run Pfaff and Sewmaq.
Buying a Bernina or similar high end machine is never a bad investment. I really wanted to buy a portable industrial machine but it was far cheaper and easier to use real-estate and have a table-mounted one.
Also re: bobbin wrong way round, I always say “number 9” to myself as I put them in, even now.
how much does sewing string cost? you know the colourful kind you put in the machine?
she also tells me off for calling it "cloth" and not "fabric"
