When I go to my sister's to sew she always lets me use her featherweight, I keep telling her and her husband that every once in awhile I get a tingly feeling on the side of my arm that rests on the machine, they don't seem to think it anything, my sister says it never happens to her. I am taking my own machine from now on. I thought maybe the ground fault was not grounded correctly since it is in the basement.

My Featherweight gives me a tingly feeling every time I use her!! Really! I sent her to repair man, replaced rubber feet, and still I get shocked from the touch. DH thinks it is a grounding problem, does anyone here have any ideas? The cord is in good shape, but does not have the grounding point on it. I love the machine, but it scares me!!! Please help!!

OK, I am convinced. I will not use it again until checked out.

I recommend that you do not use the machine until this is resolved.
You Do sound like you have a short of some kind. Most likely a short to ground. (A wire or component that carries power is somehow touching the frame (ground) of the machine. The "tingle" is 110v gently running through your body... The "repair man" should have never let it leave his shop like that... Period |
Here's the Tip of the Month from Nova Montgomery's site that addresses this question:

I know this is an old post but you are so right, I have been trying to get my beautiful 201-2 singer fixed for a long time with the same little buzz problem. I am not an electrician (just a girl) but you would think someone could fix it.
