snyderj9k Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 I have a new Millennium and was changing the needle for the first time. I didn't check it manually before I tried to sew and it didn't work. I took the needle out and lined it up again and made sure it was in correctly and when I manually bring the needle down it goes down fine but when I start to come back up it looks like something catches it and moves it over and won't allow it to come up all the way. I must have bent something but I don't know where to begin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 Make sure that the little "hump" in the needle is facing the front of the machine and the scarf or the indentation on the needle is facing the throat of the machine. If it is backwards the hump will catch on the hook as it is coming around and cause what you are describing. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

srichardson Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 Welcome to the forum. As you have found you have come to the right place to have your questions answered. You are now a fully fledged member of the wrong way needle club! It has happened to a lot of us so don't feel bad. Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
