Also, I think it needs a new foot pedal as there seemed to be a slight electrical sensation when I plugged it in and touched the fly wheel. I immediately unplugged and plugged in the foot pedal from my personal Featherweight and the sensation was gone. Any suggestions where to find a foot pedal reasonably? I have no sewing shops locally.
