He broke a needle (at THREE bucks a needle, he was NOT Mr. Popular at that moment) he stepped away and I went back at it...he came back to help and together, we figured out that the race was extended out as far as it would go, causing the top thread to catch and hang up between the race and the shuttle causing it to miss the loop. Backed the race up just a hair and we all of the sudden had a stitchin' machine! Not one skipped stitch, tension perfect! :)


I'm a pretty happy camper right now! :)
It sure feels good when you win one doesn't it!!!!
Oh yeah!! :D I was starting to worry that Hazel would have to go...I've always said that I wouldn't have a machine in the house that I couldn't use....she gets to stay now! :lol:
It IS one thing to clean them up and it feels really good. But the icing on the cake is when it stitches isn't it!!!!!!
