When Things Go Screwy
Several times a month a customer comes in missing a tension screw. The story goes, " I was just loosening the screw and BONG!! it was gone." The sad part is that the screw did not need to be messed with in the first place. Usually when the tensions in a sewing machine are not working, the problem is with the top tension not the bottom. This is hard to believe when the thread is all balled up under the machine. If it happens to you, here is a hint to help solve the problem of the missing screw.

Put a magnet in a plastic bag and slide it around on the floor and around table and chair legs. (Screws love to hide around these places.) You might just find the screw to be replaced into the bobbin case.
