How to tighten handle on Mille

[kathall33]

The handle on my Millie moves sometimes.  How do I tighten it? 

Also when I use the needle up/down button sometimes it just keeps going and going.  Any reason why this happens and how can I fix it. 

Thank you.

Let me tell you first, I don't own a Millie.  That being said, I think I can help you with your problems.  First of all, handle tightening.  There appear to be two clamping screws for each handle on the front of your machine.  Position the slipping handle where you want it, and simply tighten the two screws for that handle.  As far as the needle up/ needle down goes, I've seen others with that issue correct it by adjusting the number "8" screw. (somewhere on the back of the machine).  Hopes this helps.  Jim
