Small problem

All of a sudden the sewing machine thread is catching on a little bar. I've taken the bobbin area apart as much as possible, and taken all the dust out, and that's what the problem seems to be. There's a tiny pin that extends the end of the bar, and the thread seems to be piling up there. Maybe I bent it slightly when cutting the threads free when it jammed?
Time to find some soothing handwork!

It's now sorted - thanks to the helpful people on the creativemachine list. The bar is part of the thread cutter; I replaced the needle and rethreaded, turned around three times widdershins, and magically it works again.
