This happened to me a while ago with my Necchi and it was all about the "timing" Good Luck!!
I bought it used from an individual. I have been using Schmetz needles so I'll stop using them. There were some Organ needles in the box too, so I'll give them a whirl. The shop charges $100 just to look at them, so I'm trying to avoid that. On the other hand, it seems like a class is in order for me. I just don't know what in the world I'm doing.
I do plan on taking her off the frame and trying some simple sewing until I get used to her.
