  1. Well YIPPEE, thank you all. I worked with Amy at APQS, and she surmised that the machine had jumped a tooth in the belt. So she talked me through the process of making it jump back. Quite an amazing process . I told her it was a lot like a chiropractic treatment for the machine. But when it was all done, Lucy was sewing again with a smile on her face ! I know we all know it, but APQS is an awesome company ! Thanks, Amy
  2. Hi - Thought I would update - I spoke with the Amazing Amy and it might be I can just do a belt adjustment ! She sent me videos, and once I find Allen wrenches and do a little Yoga to slow my heartbeat down, I'll be doing this chiropractic adjustment on my machine …
  3. Thanks to you both ! Helpful info.
  4. Hi everyone. I have a Lucey, much loved. Unfortunately, I hit a ruler, but did not have jam,. The needle broke and dropped out of the machine on to the quilt. I put in a new needle and all seemed fine. Since then it has dropped out several times in just a few hours of sewing. I have changed needles, am using a correct needle, and it is not bent. The screw to hold the needle seems to be working fine, and I am sure the needle is inserted all the way and in the right direction. But now my needle is hitting something at the bottom of the trip down, hitting and stopping. My bobbin is out of the machine. Even by hand I cannot get the needle to complete its trip down. Without the needle inserted, it goes down and up just fine. It is behaving like the needle is not inserted all the way, but it is...……. I am not sure where to start the troubleshooting - looking more at the set screw/needle? or just proceeding to a retiming? Many thanks for ideas. Kathleen
