I feel so lame!
We are in West Yellowstone for summer and while dh fishes I am sewing on my featherweight...or... I was. I got a small bit of thread caught in the bobbin area and took the plate off to get at it. Now folks I've cleaned in that area and removed the plate numerous times but this time I have a problem. I have tried everything to get the bobbin mechanism lined up with the plate as the book shows (and have done just like it should be) but when I put the plate on and turn the wheel to check....the needle stops partway. I'm embarrassed to say how much time I've spent trying to get my little FW working again. I was so frustrated that I went online and found another machine to use (that I could afford). But I want my featherweight back. Can any of you experts here help me solve what I did to my machine? Thanks!!
