A little while ago, just before Christmas I somehow lost a hex screw from my Brother over locker. I bought some replacements from eBay. They were also available from Amazon but delivery was said to take longer so I went with Ebay for speed despite they were fractionally more expensive.
Well Ebay took ages!
And then a second look on Amazon discovered some available for slightly more on Prime. I almost bought a second lot.
Then they arrived.
Lovely man, my partner, offered to fit them for me and since I had managed to lose one I accepted.
Generally, I am stupidly overzealously feminist. Not this time.
So he fits it for me, and surprise he realised the original ( as in the not lost) hex screw on the other needle was rather raised to what the new one is. I thought ah well I don't care so long as it works and made him a coffee.
Came back with said coffee and would you believe I never lost that "lost" hex screw. I had screwed it in on top of the other one!
So yes, I do feel a bit stupid, but this could happen to you, so I am sharing, because, while I waited for my new hex screws to arrive, I wasted over two weeks of sewing time. I really struggle to find time to sew so this is bad and frustrating.
Maybe this might help someone though, so I decided to share.
Now I have ten extra new hex screws, and a new very useful tool for undoing/doing them up, which should keep me sewing for quite some time!
Take care
Bracken
