The only thing I would add--- If you have been breaking needles due to the "retaining finger" being out of position, you need to inspect the hook. Needle impacts will create issues. Note To All: Have a spare hook in your inventory and know how to install it. They are not expensive compared to having Rod/Sharon come to your rescue. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
