bent needle bar?
I just had to leave my l month old (to me) Babylock Jazz at the dealers. I tried to change the needle to a new needle and I had to pull the needle out with pliers because it was so tight, when I did that the part holding the screw fell off. I could not get the needle and part back together no matter how hard I tried. The repair guy told me I tightened the screw too tight and bent the shaft on the needle bar. I have been sewing for over 50 years and never had a problem changing needles on any machine I have or had. He also asked me if anything else fell off, which it didn't. So they have to order parts. Has anyone ever had this happen to them? He says he has had to fix other machines for this. I don't see how it is even possible to crush the shaft smaller with a needle in it and it being hard metal. I might be wrong, but. Any opinions
would be appreciated.
Thanks
