Coversation round the dinner table last night Devon (aged 14) saying don't we realise she is the new generation that never leaves home and Phoebe (aged 10) counting down the days, weeks, months till she's 18 so she can be off! Talk about one extreme to the other.

Hope you can understand this?? There may be thread stuck under the spring of the bobbin so look at it with a magnifier and you may be able to use fine tweezers to remove it. I take my spool to pieces and oil and clean underneath but I don't want you to get it completely banjaxed. !!!<br />Good luck and let me know how it goes! <br />Jo xJoZart Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15197690337080094062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6930416465746558041.post-62709792348940874142011-08-25T02:09:36.536+01:002011-08-25T02:09:36.536+01:00Congrats to your son...it is so exciting to see th...Congrats to your son...it is so exciting to see them become your adults!

Good correct thread and I take a light oily cloth and swipe it through the tension discs and springs. Hope I'm not teaching you to suck eggs but I used to work for Janome and I really have a "feel" for the machines. I've always managed to service any I've handled that haven't been actually badly damaged and thus in need of an engineer.
