This little beauty is near MINT..all original, no rubs, pin marks, etc, in a mint case with all of the attachments, no book though..price was $325!
I really want her...BUT...with not being sure what is wrong with her, I had to walk away!
go back & look at it again. tip machine up so you can see
the bobbin area. check to see if the little "finger" is in the
correct place on the throat plate. if not, loosen throat plate carefully ( usually not all the way out) lift just enough to get the "finger" in the slot. then retighten.
how many people have paid big $$ to correct this simple thing or left a machine behind. first check for threads caught in the bobbin area. does not take much to stop
these babies. hope this gets you a good machine !
