I've polished everything up and checked them all individually and I think it's ok. I just re-polished the bar on the back side. Another question though is when the needle is raised and I go to pull the work out where should the shuttle be?
I thought it would be to the left, but it's on the right and I am far more successful pulling the work away from the machine if I pull the work to the back and the right. :/ This is backwards from the directions I have for a Singer 12 so either it's normal for this machine or something is really off.
