I am waiting to get on Needle Bar but it takes so long. Only thing we can see that is missing is the shuttle. Every thing else works and seems to be in order. Would like to change it over to a hand crank if possible.
WOW I really like it and to have it as a handcrank would be the cats meow for me!!!
I see Hubby likes the WD-40, believe me it is the stuff when it comes to getting things worked loose after being locked up for eons!! Sounds like we would get along right nicely!!
