Dara in IA Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 Thanks to all who looked...seems I just didn't have the needle inserted far enough. (shaking my head....) I have Lucey with M bobbin...I am not sure what needles I should be using. I purchased the machine used, and the needles that were included are GrozBeckert 10 Nm 110/18 134MR 1955MR 134 SAN11 DP X 5 MR. When I put one of these in, press the needle down to pull up my bobbin thread, it 'jams' in the hole, the machine hums, and I have to turn off the power and use the hand wheel to bring the needle back up. Can you tell me, is there something I am doing wrong? Is this the right needle? I think now I have in a needle that I used when I had my Lenni with L bobbin, not sure the brand but they say 1955-01-MR4.5 SET/R 134 135X5 797 DPX5. I know the 4.5 is larger than I want to be using, but it's all I have other than the GB needles. Thanks for any help you can be!

RunningThreads Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 Dara Lenni and Lucey use the same needles. It sounds like you may have the needle in backwards, many of us have done that. Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dara in IA Posted June 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 Thanks Nigel....was just logging on with an update....I think I just didn't have the needle fully inserted. After 15 years of this, you think I would be able to change a needle! LOL!! But I was tired and frustrated with another issue....all is well!!
