Thanks for the kind words about my little scottie sock dog. He was really easy to make! All you need is a air of fuzzy socks (better get them now because they're only available in cold months). The toe portion becomes the bottom, the heel…

This is so adorable; I love the green button eyes.
I have a Westie (white) and wish I knew how you made this.

Truly artistic creativity! And the most beautiful results. Of course, she would look good in a potato sack, I'm sure. But I really enjoyed this segment.

This is the most helpful commentary that I've seen. Shirley Adams is the BEST. Let's have more of her, please, and my thanks to all of you.

My Pfaff Hobbylock does this same thing when one (or both) of the needles is the least bit bent.
You might try changing the needles, clean all the lint (I use small painter's sable brush) from below and rethreat, making sure it is correct.
Hope…

All you need is a air of fuzzy socks (better get them now because they're only available in cold months). The toe portion becomes the bottom, the heel becomes the top of the dog's head and you cut the cuff off, making sure to leave enough to make the beard/nose - as well as enough to make the legs & ears from the cuff area. Stuff him to the nose & close it up vertically. Don't over stuff especially at he neck. This gives it the small neck -long beard effect. Cut the limbs & ears from the cuff & hand sew them - stuff them and hand stitch them to the body. These fuzzy socks hid all imperfections in hand sewing! Hope you get to try it!

This video demonstra
This video demonstrates how to fix / adjust / repair the timing of the hook on a sewing machine. If the thread from your needle isn't getting caught by the hook that rotates around, this video explains what to adjust to fix that. Requires some very basic tools and takes 15-30 minutes - maybe less.
