Jlhmnj, I cannot thank you enough! The diagrams walked me step by step through the process, and I have my machine up and running now!
After testing a few swatches of fabric however, the machine occasionally gets stuck. It's like it's hitting something hard, but when I turn the hand wheel, the needle is not hitting anything. I'm not sure if the thread is getting stuck around the bobbin, or if there's just a few quirks that will work themselves out once the machine gets a good few runs? Any thoughts?
