Did you get it retimed? I would prefer a machine that only uses 15x1 needles. That is such a great deal! Thanks, my machine is out there.
Yes, I got some thread caught up in the bobbin area somehow and it seized up so my little repairman fixed that and retimed it to use regular needles. He told me he could and I said "go for it". Glad I did.
