The machine was stitching some long underlay stitches (yeah, I know,I was going to fix them for the next item). Suddenly the needle goes down, doesn't come up but halfway and gives me the x-axis error message. I don't know what to do, so I try head up. after fiddling, the head comes up, minus half of the needle. I see that a small piece is wedged in the hook. Ok, be honest, what am i looking at, and is there any temporary fix so I can finish my 2 items?? Do I need to order and replace the hook and if so, may as well service the darned thing. Any techs in the Houston area? Thanks bunches!
