1. Re-threaded the WHOLE MACHINE. The left bottom thread is particularly critical and is difficult to get right... there is a tiny little hole in the thing (needle? Shuttle?) in the end of the metal and the thread goes THROUGH the metal and then has to come back out and in the end. This is what went haywire last night.
2. Ordered new needles. These are working, but I keep breaking the thread. From prior experience, corrosion of the needle eye will cause friction and make it more likely it will break the thread while pulling, instead of drawing thread through the fabric, it snaps it.
3. Wondering how to smooth out two metal edges on the top which may not be as smooth as designed. Maybe very fine grade sandpaper?!?! Dunno.
