SO disappointed!!!!
#21
The other manual I have says to use a system 1738 needle with the long groove facing to the front.
I just happened to have some Schmetz needles that have this number on the packet, but they are round shank. There was a giant (denim weight) flat shank needle in it when I got it but we suspected that this needle wasn't right, however changing the needles hasn't seemed to help the problem, nor has it made the problem worse.
Any clues?

Needle must be in right. So the machine doesn't do zig zag? or could but doesn't do zig zag yet? The thread breaking can be from the tension not set right or a ton of other things. Is the thread flowing smoothly? Some times the newer threads don't go off the spool without a little hitch or something. There is a thread on here about someone else with a messed up tension - http://www.quiltingboard.com/vintage...e-t218411.html a lot of good advice on there. When you thread it can you pull thread through easily with the presser foot up? down should have a bit of drag?
