Also after all these years, I spent most of the day yesterday trying to get my machine working correctly again after switching needles and feet.
Literally took the whole damned thing apart this morning for cleaning and lubing just in case, blew out the inside with canned air, the whole shebang.
The needle.
Was slightly.
Off center.
Literally all I had to do was make the flat backing flush.
That was it. A whole day cursing over a slightly off kilter needle.
This is why I don’t usually sew in the mornings.
