my machine keeps stopping

Place a little vaseline on the needle bar where the rubber bands are. That may fix your issue. it gives the bands a lube job and lets them slide around but still do there job with less friction. Old school trick, but I hope it helps.

thank you

Awesome idea and I never once thought of that. Thanks for the tips. I'm going to LOVE this forum...

the robberband holds the needle down on the tube this if u know will mack ur coils heat up do to friction .not going to get it to stop
