The BIG machine is FIXED

It’s never a dull moment in Susan Hensel Projects studio!  The big machine got out of whack just before I went on my sleepy vacation!  I had to learn to reset the timing and go through the whole thread path, one location at a time…multiple times!  The timing had gotten way off after several broken needles and a freeze-up!  Fixing it involved studying and taking apart the front of the machine 3 times. I got that fixed, but I could not stitch more than 10 stitches before a thread break. Thread path revealed a hiccup.  Fixed it.  Still shredding thread too often. Rotated the offending needle slightly, and we are back in business!
