Featherweight not stitching
Does anyone have any ideas? I had my featherweight cleaned and renovated and it left a stitch on the sample when I picked it up. I put in a titanium 75/11 needle and tried to sew. The bottom thread isn't getting caught up in a stitch. What have I done wrong, or what should I do?

Yes you're right. Flat side of needle goes towards the left and thread is right to left. Heres A PHOTOGRAPHIC DIAGRAM .

Re-thread the machine, thread from inside to outside. Check your bobbin area, check to see if the "finger" of the bobbin is in the correct space, should be between the 2 little "thingys" that are attached to the needle plate, is the area clean?? Good luck there are pictures on this site that will help you.
