I always heard that, too. When my machine started messing up I called the dealer/repairman, and he told me to adjust the screw – or bring my machine for a three-week sleepover, he was that backed up. He did suggest turning just a quarter circle at a time, which I did, and it was no big deal. It was nowhere near as fussy as I'd always heard it would be.
