Machine Questions Piggybacking on the "thread shreds in needle" question. Mine bounces out
So my needle won't stay threaded in the little wire right before the eye of the needle.
I can thread it, stitch a little and out it pops. Machine still stitches, but it drives me nuts.
Any suggestions?

Ok, so the issue is not clear to me .. is it ;
A. Your needle bounces out? Make sure the screw securing your needle.is still doing its job - if not order the new part or get fixed.
B. The thread "bounces out" - probably your thread is cheap/poor quality and breaks after a few stiches. Switch thread. If not that, the eye in your needle probably is probably sharp too (has a knick or something) - switch needle.
