Im not sure what I did
I was trying to free motion quilt on my fairly new machine, and the top thread looked really tight and the next thing the needle was sort of out of the holding and sideways. I pulled it out and it was a little bent, so put a new one in but now my machine doesn't auto thread anymore. Im afraid to try to free motion quilt, not sure what could have happened.
Im thinking the needle was loose and just popped out ? but then why did the tension on the thread going to needle feel so tight - maybe thats what made it pop out?
I hope I didn't damage my machine. I can't get it to the repair man, as I can't lift it right now and the drive to him is too far
Should I have my machine set at anything special for free motion quilting? stitch length, tension ?
Thanks!
