Then I get some lock together tweezers and grab hold of the thread and rock it back and forth if it will move - if not I rock the thread - it doesn't get the thread out every time but some times that works. There may be a service manual on line with more information - sometimes that helps. It can be very frustrating.
Miriam what a great idea to put a 'bit' of oil on the thread....
Need to remember that one..or at least who gave it to me..
