Im at my wits end. I spent the morning rearranging my sewing room and making room for all my machines, new and vintage. I dug out my 1974 Domestic and put it in a sewing table. I had this machine running just a few months ago. Today, I can't get the darned needle to take up the bobbin thread. I have done everything I can think of. Changed thread, chnged bobbins, rethreaded changed needles. It's driving me crazy!!! I have taken out the bobbon case and put it back, even.

The hook in the bobbin area is not catchiing the thread when the needle drops down inside. It's almost as if the needle is coming back up before the hook rotates high enough to catch the thread. The bobbin case only sits in the hole one way so I'm not sure its possible for me to have it in wrong.

Any thoughts, advice or new things to try.....I was really looking forward to SEWING tonight.....but I want all my machines up and running first...lol. Ive had fun collecting and playing with them these past couple of weeks :)
