WandaT Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 I must be sleeping. Changed a needle after I ran over one of my flower head pins (went right through the plastic, no problem). But during my needle change I put it in backwards. Now my needle is stuck in the quilt and I can't budge. I loosened the needle to see if I could get something to move, I tried to remove the bobbin. It's just all stuck, I'm all stuck and now I think I should have a beer. Any help is greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mestuart Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 undo the screw that hold the needle in and then move the fly wheel by hand. should be able to free the quilt,, and then you can work on the needle. good luck Marion in BC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WandaT Posted February 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 I'll try that, I did undo the screw, but I think the needle is stuck in the hook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WandaT Posted February 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 Note to self, don't turn on the machine (which propels the forward motion that gets stuck) Move the flywheel a little backwards while machine is off and wa la! Now I am back, I think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
