I bought it after being told "it doesn't work, it's jammed or something". I knew it would live again. The FWs and the 301s are hard to kill permanently. I just wonder how you'd get -that- much thread in there. <br /><br />Good on you for showing people that it's not that hard to service these little machines. :)Tammihttp://archaicarcane.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133305403334770394.post-52557193614853612542012-11-01T22:42:08.154-04:002012-11-01T22:42:08.154-04:00Sometimes people just don't know.....Sometimes people just don't know.....Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07285943308096103980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133305403334770394.post-47709842527888913652012-11-01T22:36:16.233-04:002012-11-01T22:36:16.233-04:00If given the chance and a low enough price, I'...If given the chance and a low enough price, I'd have bought it to rescue it from someone who left it that lint-filled. Wouldn't you think that the first thing they'd have done when the thread lock hit would have been to clean it? If they bought and it arrived in that condition, then it isn't their fault, but I still think I would have tried to clean it before taking it to be worked on.=Tamarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133305403334770394.post-42345553231077781812012-11-01T19:56:30.447-04:002012-11-01T19:56:30.447-04:00It is really rather straight forward removing the ...It is really rather straight forward removing the hook on a Featherweight. And the manual describes how to remove the bobbin case because these things are NOTORIOUS for thread locks. Nice stitches from a darling machine. I think I can sew on a FW. Gotta try tomorrow.<br /><br />Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07285943308096103980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133305403334770394.post-54294510294557458772012-11-01T19:48:13.285-04:002012-11-01T19:48:13.285-04:00AGAIN, I am amazed at how unafraid you are of digg...AGAIN, I am amazed at how unafraid you are of digging clear to the bone to find problems. I would have quit before you did. I would have not disassembled the bobbin area like you did. Bravo on your bravery and success in figuring out the problem. I am a chicken. Bawk. Bawk. I hope you charge her accordingly. Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11994575359990994574noreply@blogger.com
