( no, not that kind, silly!!!) I have a Singer sewing machine, and have been quilting in the ditch, using my quilting foot(the one with the big white hunk of plastic in the back). Here's my problem, the darn needle keeps working itself out, no matter how much I tighten it .GRRRRRRRRR! What can I do to fix this?? Thanks for all your help! Conni

Does it do it any other time? Sounds like the turnscrew holding it in may be worn and the vibration is loosening it.
Are you running it at a reasonable speed and have it set on a sturdy table?

For an instant fix, go to the hardware or car store and look for products like Loc-tight.

You know, now that you mention it, my sewing machine light has been flickering too, just thought that it was getting ready to go..My table is very sturdy and I don't seem to have any unusual vibration...

I would check around my bobbin for gunk! Sometimes fuzz and such builds up. I'd try a cleaning. Just a thought.

If you have a walking foot I think that would be better.
