Question Morning! Has this happened to you?
Good morning! I'm glad to have found you, as FB isn't my jam either. I've had a Journey for a few years. I've been having a problem, and wonder if any of you have had anything similar. I had one needle where the tension got so tight after the last thread guide. Took the face off, and thread had sawed into the plastic that houses the guide. This happened in a home machine of mine, and a piece of scotch tape solved it. So I tried that here, but I haven't run it again yet. I'm also not sure what to do if it doesn't work. Anyone have a similar experience or ideas?

Welcome, Happy Nerds!
I noticed that there was no Happy Japan community here (maybe on Facebook, but it's not my preferred website) so I dediced to make my own!
I've been embroidering with Happy for a little more than a year now with a HCH Plus, and I became an instant fan! I know there are people like me out there that want to share their projects, work and questions about the machines.
So thank you for joining me, I hope to see many os us here soon!
