Do you have you replaced needle in correctly? Unplug it and replug it back in and make sure nothing is interfering with the needle going down in the hole. Might call you machine repair man and see if he knows what you can do? Just some ideas here.

This is a good reason to have a second machine. You feel bad when one stops working but you know you have a back up. I got two of my machines for $20 each and one for $5 (wasn't working - needed a part $6+ = less than $12). I use the extra to take to classes I teach and if I find someone that needs one and can't afford it - I gift them one. I love to see someone get the quilting bug.

I am not a happy camper at the moment....I went to sew today and the first thing I did was break a needle....and now it will not hold a stitch...and it will not pick up the bobbin thread....I have a Janome quilters companion 6019 anyone have suggestions on what it could be. I have taken off the plate and cleaned it out...there was lots of dust bunnies living in there....
I got one for my Singer and I do all the cleaning and DH does all the timing once he learned how to do that he can now do it for all my machines, they are all pretty much the same. If this is still not available to you, email me privately with Machine Timing in the sub line and I will help you out.
Good Luck
