I may never clean my machine again LOL. Finished cleaning bobbin area and putting back together. Now the needle hits the metal bobbin case and it doesn't pick up the bobbin thread. Obviously, I goofed somehow when putting things back together.
Took bobbin casing apart and back together again;
Replaced bobbin;
Changed needle;
Checked alignment of needle (left, center, right), etc.
HELP!!! Thank God for backup machines. Machine is Janome 6260
