So...I had a thread stuck in my featherweight. Decided to take everything apart and 'fix' it myself. Lost the gib screw and cried. DH helped me look and I did find it in the bottom of my full trash can. Now I'm having issues putting the bobbin case back in and have decided to take a break from the whole thing for the night.
Boy, do I ever appreciate my featherweight guy now. If necessary, I will visit him this week with the parts and pay him to really fix it.
I did get the thread by the way.
Thanks for 'listening',
lots2do (but too wrung out to do them now)

Sounds like yourjust havingone of those days! Maybegrab some chocolate!

sorry to hear you are having a bad day with your featherweight, glad you found the screw, take a break and it will go back together

Take a break. Relax. It may go together just fine than. If not, thank goodness you have a featherweight guy.

Some days are like that for me too. It will pass.

Chocolate makes everything better! I hope tomorrow is better!

Oooohhhh! Take a deep breath and relax. I hope you feel better!

(((HUGS))) Great news that you found the screw... I bet it goes back together easily tomorrow :wink: :D:D:D

Oh, my goodness.
You were all so right. I just went up to try one more time and decided to move the hand wheel just a bit and the darn thing popped right in where it belongs. I can't wait to get home tonight and thread it up and give it a shot.
BUT, I don't know if I'll ever try that on my own again. It was an exercise in frustration.
Thanks for all of your support!
Happy sewing,
