On my sewing machine I find its a lot easier to lessen the tension to do the zig zag stitich. Maybe this will help. I am sure others on here will have comments or ideas to help also.
I tried loosening the tension, useing an embroidery needle, just gave up at the time. Will go back later after the frustration settles and try it again. If it doesn't work this time, I will take it to the service center. I just hate when that happens, right when I'm in a sewing mood and everything has gone right so far. Oh well, could be worse. I could be in there sewing instead of on here having a blast. LOL I'm having way too much fun since I decided to register on here after enjoying everone else's work for several weeks.
Thanks everyone for all the suggestions and the friendly welcome.
