Fortunately, I had finished the mystery clues. Changed the presser foot and thread, got my borealis trees out to finish FMQ the center so I could bind it. Started. The needle broke. Rethreaded. Changed the needle.. That needle also broke. Rethreaded and changed to a normal foot. Checked this time with the hand wheel. The needle was going to hit the foot. Looks like the needle bar is bent. It is not worth fixing (machine is 10 years old and cost $99).
Took everything I could salvage out of the accessories box and ordered a Brother CS6000i. It will be here Friday.
