When I pull thread through the needle it does deflect slightly. However, when I pull from the shuttle it pulls really really freely!! Could it possibly be due to a problem there? I will definitely keep working with the stitch length regulator, though, and I would like this to work also!! I'm pretty down with a cold and just don't have the energy to work on it right now...hopefully in a couple days I'll be back on top of it and ready to give this more time. Thanks for your help!
