It isn't right either,it sticks when re-assembling and thread is totally stuck in it when attempting to thread the tensioner is too tight and erratic when trying to select a tension. Do I need a new one? See photos
Thanks Jane
So did Billy ever help you with this problem? I would like to know what was missing and how it can be fixed.
There is a screw that is on the side of the machine that you can tighten and it will hold it in its place. If your looking at the machine like you are going to sew on it if you look under the arm on the right side of the tensioner you will see a small hole. That is where the screw is. Just take your finger and push the tensioner in and tighten the screw and your good to go!!
