The machine I am having trouble with is an XT.sugsted by Rod, and both cables are still attatched and in good working order. I have had this happen once, so I knew to look there, but alas, tis not the problem. I checked my pig tail as suggested by Ed and it is in the 12 o'clock position with the normal amount of wiggle. Have checked the gap as well, but am sure this is not the ticket either. It is possible however that my needle plate is not centered as suggested. With fresher eyes this morning, it appears that my needle is oriented closer to the back of the needle plate hole than the front. It seems to be okay side to side. Worth a try anyway. Could you please post a reminder on the steps to take to correct this, as brain still feels exhausted, the phone is ringing off the hook, and I am attempting to get five kids out the door on time to meet the bus for school. Man, sometimes, when it rains, it pours, whi ch honestly it looks like it could do any minute now. Thanks for everyones help. Hope to be happily sewing away soon. :) =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
