Also, I am assuming the glued piece is actually a return that was repackaged, (not defective) which is why janome wants you to contact where you purchased the machine...it is their responsibility, since they allowed the return of a modified machine and then resold it to you...at least that's what I'm thinking.

Life is too short to be frustrated. This is supposed to be fun!

UPDATE:
janome acknowledges unit is defective but will NOT replace. referred me back to company i purchased machine from..they promised to "get back to me but did not" so will call them again today.

to make matters worse the 2nd needle unit (this one for replaceable needles) is also defective! one needle is about 2-3 mm longer than the other 4 and the screwed so tight ive not been able to unscrew. will try wd40 as denise suggested or try to find a man able to unscrew.. am at my wits end and very discouraged.
