I've had problems with deflected jets and found that cleaning the bottom of the head with a strip of cloth bias tape soaked with Windex (with ammonia) worked well. I've also used strips of paper towels to do this, but the bias tape is easier and is now one of the supplies I always keep around. Any outlet that carries sewing supplies will have it. I cut a strip long enough so that after the head is pulled over the soaded strip I can grab both ends of the tape and pull it back and forth acrross the bottom of the head. Usually one cleaning cycle is needed after this procedure. It's a cheap and easy procedure. So, it seems worth a try before you pay for a new head. Good luck. Paul www.PaulRoark.com
