As there is no shortage of baby wipes here to try flossing with, I will give that a go for good measure! <br /><br />Talking of things that need to be talked to nicely… We have a haunted cupboard unit, made by my husband's grandfather which only opens when talked nicely to.

I know you have probably tried this, but maybe try getting a baby wipe and flossing the vertical slit areas where the thread does the loop thing before it goes down to the needle. Sometimes a build up of lint is to blame. Also oiling everything and speaking to the machine nicely helps. I find if I swear at it, it retaliates with bad behavior.<br /> P.S. I always thread my needle from the front, although the instructions say to thread from the back. I find back threading makes the thread snap easierAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18249920877010870629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5176799358531491903.post-52221970024479009432014-01-16T12:13:12.102+02:002014-01-16T12:13:12.102+02:00It is SO good to know I'm not the only one!

I found mine was mostly a threading problem, one of the plastic clips snapped off when it fell over in my car and it meant that the fascia stuck out very slightly, so when I went around it with the thread it wasn't always going into the right place.pennydoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425898433355516938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5176799358531491903.post-88774763026695825232014-01-16T10:27:05.803+02:002014-01-16T10:27:05.803+02:00it is SO frustrating when the evil thing wont work...it is SO frustrating when the evil thing wont work!! good luck ..
