I v just really thorougly cleanedmy machine, however it is no way to open to front panel where the threading is done and that bugs be cause i ms ure there are lots of dirt there................
anyway i did put all my screws very nicely on a plate next to me so they wouldnt get lost but ofcourse now i cant find the one i need(there is 2 in total) to fasten the metal plate thingy where the needle action is sooooooooooooo where do i get a new one :oops:
i m really annoyd now cause i wanted to sew more but i dont dare sewing a thing before all the screws are fasten and in place.
I honestly dont think its any loose screws inside the machine, the only loose ones i know for sure about is the ones in my head :mrgreen:

Check a sewing machine repair shop. They'll have all the little screws.
I picked up a sewing machine for my 10yo daughter at a yard sale. It was missing the thread tension spring and screw. I bought both (instead of a whole new bobbing case) for $2.50. The case would have cost me between 10 and 20 and since I wasn't even sure if the machine worked well or not, I thought I'd give this a try. BYW...she's sewing on the machine.

I really would like to know how those screws just got up and walked away.
