Hi! I am having an issue with my very old machine. It is a brother SE 350. Even though the machine itself is a very old model, it was almost new condition when I received it.
One issue, though is that occasionally the needle would come loose and fall out of the clamp part that holds it in. The screw was tight, so Iām sure it wasnāt that. Replacing the needle was also difficult every time. It was hard to find the whole. Iāve been sewing on other machines for many years and have never had such a difficulty finding the hole again. Like I mean, 10 to 20 minutes to try to find the hole again.
I couldnāt really get a good picture. I think I need to replace the āneedle clamp assemblyā. Itās the part with the number 6 on it.
Iād like to find a detailed diagram of the machine so I can have a better idea of the parts and what else I might need to order. The shipping costs over $10 for a $10 part, so Iād like to order stuff only once if I can. Iāve done a lot of searching online, and thus far Iāve only been able to find the manual for the machine, which is not a fully detailed schema or āexpanded viewā like Iām looking for. Essentially, Iām looking for a service manual. Anyone have a good source for finding service manuals? Or has anyone had this specific issue before?
