One last plea before
1. Throwing it out the window (I'm on the 8th flr), or
2. Giving in taking it to Missouri Sewing (Dr. to all my machines).
When I lower the needle, it goes through the bobbin case and hits the bottom of the casing (like the needle is too long) and it doesn't pick up the bobbin thread.
Replaced the needle with a shorter one (it goes thru but still doesn't pick up the bobbin thread.
Inserted needle several times, making sure flat side was to the back and that it was inserted up as far as possible.
Took bobbin casing out and made sure it was inserted correctly.
I keep going back every couple of days, giving it one more try but still nothing helps.
Reduced to using the Janome 405 I bought my granddaughter a couple of years ago - Lord knows she's not using it much since she discovered she's a track star, guess quilting's on hold for a while:>)
Any last minute suggestions before I have son take the old girl to the hospital?!?!?!?!?
