I have one. One thing I do is bypass the three hole bar when threading I use the far right hole as a thread guide only. I had a problem with the needle coming unthreaded when using the auto thread cutter and this stopped it. And do not do not do not keep a spool of thread on the far right spindle. I had the end of the thread catch in the fly wheel (going fast it draws loose thread in) and it was a mess to get it out.
There is a yahoo group just for owners of this machine. It has tons of info.
