Misty, you remove that 'carrier' by removing the needle plate (two screws on the top of the needleplate - not under the machine.) Take out the bobbin and bobbin case first, of course. Wipe it off with SM oil and look for any rough spots. When you put it back, be sure the 'finger' fits in the groove on the bottom of the needle plate before you tighten the screws. There is a page in the user's manual that shows this this. If you don't have one, you can download a free one from sew-classic. I think ISMACS has one, too.) One little ball of compressed lint can cause all kinds of problems. I'm using Connecting Threads thread right now and it's so linty my 301 told me she needed an extra cleaning. The bobbin just wasn't happy.

Talking about Sears machines. We saw one last summer that was a treadle and had Sears Robuck all over it. On the irons and the foot treadle. Had a cabinet that was in bad shape and had a coffen top. They wanted $50.00 for it. Reason for not buying was we would have had to carry it about 1/4 mile back to the truck. Tooo much for two old people to deal with. But, DH is still kicking his butt for not buying it. So you can bet if it should be back come June when the Flea Market is on again it will come home with us. This is the same Flea M. we bought the 12K mother of pearl machine. Usually have lots of machines just have to carry so far back to your truck or car.
Thanks Trish! I swear there are always exceptions to everything!

Hon, Billy don't come here since he has so many people's machines that he hasn't bothered to returned. He was on another quilting board this week, but he hasn't been on this one since February. There are many wonderful people here that can help you and won't lead you astray. I am sure they will post an answer for you.

Nancy, this is the pretty shamrock machine. That's a big MW on the arm and there is a permanent shiny ID on the motor that says Montgomery Wards, plus something underneath, too. [ATTACH=CONFIG]318837[/ATTACH]
