apqsqm Posted December 18, 2018 Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 Holy cow. Just had my check spring go south. Well, not really. But it did go boing. There I was, standing there watching the machine. Not like I can do anything else, right. Then all of a sudden, boing, something flew off the machine. Oh my GOD. WHAT WAS THAT!!!! Turned the machine off and started to look around. Finally, I found it. Sitting at the edge of the quilt on the batting. El checko spring. At least part of it. Now I have to go get one , because I don't have one. Rats and double rats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunningThreads Posted December 18, 2018 Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 Did it break right where the thread passes over it? If so I’m surprised you haven’t had thread shredding or breakage problems. I’ve changed a few over the years on our machines because they get a groove worn in them just like the pigtails.

apqsqm Posted December 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 No shredding or breakage, just boing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimerickson Posted December 20, 2018 Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 If the spring popped off, it broke at the base, not the loop. If it were broken at the loop, it would stay in place, and just not work right. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
