i broke a couple of needles & need to retrieve them from inside the machine. How do I take off the cover? I have removed all the screws but it doesn't seem to want to come off. Is there a clip somewhere?

Hello Panaroom,
If you have a two piece body machine once you have undone the screws on the back you then have to locate the plastic snap on lugs where the join is, not easy and you have to be very careful taking it apart because if you break those lugs the body will not fit back again properly, try tipping the machine upside down or a magnet if you can.
