I have a George and I love him BUT I am having an awful time changing needles. I have spent 2.5 hours trying to get that stinking tiny set screw to seat itself into it's proper hole. My hands work just fine doing other things so it isn't my hands.
I can get the screw into it's seat when there is no needle in the needle bar. No problem. But when I loosen the screw to insert the needle the screw falls out no matter how gently I back it out. I am sooo frustrated. This has been going on for days. If I put the needle in the needle bar first and then try to get the screw into it's seat, it will not grab the threads and it falls out. Take the needle out and the screw will go right into its seat and screw tight properly. What is going on?
Sorry to bother you with this. Seems silly but I am at my wits end.

Thx Betsy. I don't know if I have an "option" to do that but I see that I can try the other side of things and I will hop over to that Facebook page if it doesn't work.
Thx for responding,
