Mine was working great...now I am having proplems...I really think its the needles...I had no problems with the kenmore needles on the Jamone. I have recently bought many different sizes of the univesal needles...not the Kenmore. I have had nothing but problems FMQ'ing. Prior to these needle no issues. I am going to Sears tomorrow to buy some of their needles and give it another try. I loved doing FMQ'ng when it was working...
