That leaves me fabbing up a pigtail and major cleanup, and finding some organ DBx1 needles because all of the ones I have here are too thick in the shank and bury their shoulders in the fabric now that I have everything working properly. I bent out the softer metal spring parts on the shuttle carrier to make it a little tighter so it no longer skips stiches without the cardboard shim.
