rmjom,
A Franklin/ White rotary of this age has the old style hook assembly and hook carrier. The hook can be placed back in the machine 180 degrees off. If all else fails try turning the hook over (top to bottom).

Or maybe even the needle? I am worried I may have thrown away my money....It is a FR429021 I know it is a Franklin Rotary sold by Sears, would anyone know the year?
