I was so scared to try the hammer that I put it off for a few days! But no need to be scared. Just a few taps (after a bit more oil-- you know, I just used 3-in-one because that's all I had) and it moved like a charm and all is working well now! yippee!! I'm thrilled. Now I can get those feed dogs down (down boy, down!) and try FMQ!!!
Thanks!!!
