Make sure the needle carrier is as high as possible and the foot is down...that helps alot! Linda

Thank goodness someone posted about this!! I have a Singer Serger and I have never had to replace the needle until now. I couldn't get that darn thing in there to save my soul!!! I'm going to look into that little gadget that will help me!
