But I was getting annoyed with changing thread from black to white..( all I really use ) unless making a dressy outfit or something special. Hubby said buy a new one. I looked and hated the price and fact they were all plastic and so much more then I needed. So off I went to Ebay, found the exact one I owned and bid on it and won. Thinking we would use mine for parts. This one game and is in mint condition so I now have one threaded with black one with white and am VERY happy. Maybe you could find yours same one on Ebay and get it for parts. Sorry long story.
Checked eBay too.... they're all actually selling for MORE than what it's on sale for at JoAnn's right now. Lol. It's really not a high-end one that would be worth spending $100 to buy a used one and replace that one piece... it is on sale at JoAnns right now for $199, and other sites (like Amazon) for $180.
