 Hello,
I'm having problems with my Kenmore. I put the bobbin in according to the directions, but the thread is not catching. There is a part going around, but the bobbin itself is not turning.
Any thoughts?
Regards,

Hello,
I have a Viking 6020, and can't get the handwheel off so I can take off the cover on the right side of the machine. Is it supposed to just pull off? I don't see any screws.
Thanks for any help you can give me!
