Beagle mom Posted November 2, 2019 Report Share Posted November 2, 2019 I have a quilt that I wanted to use a walking foot on, but my sewing needle keeps falling out even though I have it in very tight. Hope you have some ideas. Thank you in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cagey Posted November 3, 2019 Report Share Posted November 3, 2019 Are you sure you have the needle in the proper direction? Most Domestic Sewing Machines (DSM) use a needle that has a flat side on the shaft that faces the rear of the machine. If you put the needle in backwards, when you tighten the retaining screw it may not hold the needle securely. Refer to your DSM manual. If you do not have the manual, the long grove should face where the thread comes down and goes through the "eye" of the needle. http://www.garmentsmerchandising.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Anatomy-of-Sewinmg-Machine-Needle.jpg Hopefully this works to fix your situation.
