I feel like such a grown-up! I cleaned my machine, took the top part apart and found a thread nest (and wondered when was the last time I used that color!), cleaned the bobbin, changed needle, and put it all back together. Here's the important part--no tears! I usually get so frustrated that I want to pitch it out the window, and have to walk away for a while to settle down.

You are a very clever grown up girl!! Good on you, I'm not game to take the top part of my machines.

I don't feel clever most times. But it did make me kind of proud of myself! Thanks.

I know just how you feel. When I have to clean the bobbin area of my machine I grit my teeth and hope for the best. Never can I get it back in without many silent bad thoughts. Then I get out the book and follow the pictures. Thank goodness for pictures.

It usually makes me so tense. Usually I drop one of those screws and cant find it, and then the screwdriver slips, and bad words are in the air. I'm thankful it worked so well this time.

Thank you. I'm behind on the confidence meter. Maybe it'll go better next time as well.

Good for you. Last time I tried getting in the inside of my machine she would not stitch more then 5 stitches after I had put her back together again. Glad you had success.

I've always been so easily intimidated when its time to snap the plastic pieces back in their place. Maybe I'll be just as brave next time

Impressive! The last time I cleaned my machine it was still messing up so off to the shop for another month. What machine do you have as in the past I have gotten only part of the top off of my machine.

Give that lady a Gold Star. Know exactly how you feel. I've done it a few times. Ony thing about these Babylocks once you take the screws out and break it down you still have to have a strong pen light to see what you are looking for .

I was proud of the no tears! I felt like I was juggling a flashlight, tweezers, and the screwdriver.
