My Machine (The Libster) is playing up

Miss Minnie would NEVER do this to me. How are you Minnie? Been a couple of days, have been praying to catch up with you.

told ya. that's usually the problem. glad hubby got it fixed 4 u *4U

I have a Brother 190D and a Designer I. Both had had the needle threader off one time or another, and I just did what lbrow did, adjusted the tiny metal wire with my fingernail till it slid through the eye of the needle again. Works for me.

I know with my MC 10001 that the tolerances were so very tight on the needle threader that I would not dare touch it myself if it was out of whack.... and I have a technical background! lol I would suggest taking it into the shop. Ask first how much they will charge but I doubt that it will be very much as I assume they have an alignment jig for making adjustments... Good Luck!

minnie what kind if machine do you have? I have an ellegante & once I did the same thing, the little wire that snags my thread & pulls it through the eye was a little off I put through motion very slowly so I could see this then got the wire back where it should b with just my fingernail. It can b so frustrating when the threader gets out of whack

mc11000 I can't thread a needle
so it is so frustrating the cotton hust slides up the needle
I have moved something but can't work out how it goes

I'm sure you have rethreaded the top and the bobbin. Is your needle at the highest . Check your manuel for troubleshooting. Hope you can fix it. A flower for you.

minnie, check and make sure that you have put the bobbin casing back correctly - if it is slightly off - it will not work right. *4U

it is the thing that comes down to thread the needle that is out I fixed the bobbin I just got a friend to thread it so lets hope I can tie a knot and pull it through to change colours

Just a thought- could you have bent the needle or dislodged it? Check it out with a new needle. I did that once. Good luck!
