Terri, we get needle burs all the time...and check by running a
fingernail up and down the needle tip...carefully or you do self
acupuncture...if there is a burr you will feel your fingernail
'click' on it.
Sometimes it happens from doing jackets-that's when we get more of
them. The weight of the excess jackets hanging off the hoop can pull
the hoop off to one side a bit just when the needle goes through, and
'bling', it hits the needle plate or rotary hook and makes a burr.
Hats are also bad for this.
Rare that you can see it without a magnifying glass, but the
fingernail trick works great.
Anytime I get a thread break I just run my fingernail around before I
rethread-if I feel a click I replace it.
