needle getting stuck in down position
i have a Ansley 26 Tin Lizzie 18. i am having an issue where when i start quilting the needle acts as if it is locked in the down position. when raise the needle using the wheel on the back i can turn it clockwise but when i turn it counterclockwise it stop and acts like there is something stuck in the motor.
Befor i take it to a repairman or take it apart myself i was wondering if there was any other trick or something else i could try.
