Newbie:

Thanks for asking about all of us at the Jersey Shore. Ocean County is in terrible shape. Most do not have power and it is cold! Trees and power lines on houses and resources are scarce..I was lucky and had minimal damage and power earlier than most. Those with power are offering their houses as shelter for those who don't. It is refreshing to see this level of compassion and concern for others. Families are truly suffering!

As for your machine: Joe did a perfect job explaining the process to you. I should have been clearer re: grease housing in the rear....I apologize for that. The machine, once greased and oiled should spin so easily that it practically sews on its own. Sometimes you have to remove the flywheel at the rear to clean it if the machine moves when winding the bobbin. Check the wiring and make sure it is not frayed because it is tucked tightly in the rear. If it is Ok, there is no need to remove the Bakelite.
