My problem was just the opposite, my needle doesn't go up enough to release the bobbin thread, or quite down enough to stay in the fabric. I need to use the flywheel a lot, just like the older mechanical machines, where you had to be sure to raise your needle all the way up by hand, in order not to have the thread pull out when you started sewing again. (I'm so glad for "Needle up" functions!) I'm figuring that all I need to do is turn #8 counter-clockwise to speed this up. However, I'm not able to necessarily adjust things by just holding the flywheel, am I? Jane
