I'm really hoping I can get some help with this that I can do at home...

I'm going to try to explain my problem and see where it gets me...I may need to take a picture to show exactly what the problem is...? Let me know if my description makes sense.

Where the motor turns the belt, there is a little piece that the belt fits on. This little piece then fits on to the..."axle"(?) that comes out of the motor, the axle turns the piece, which in turn rotates the belt which makes it sew.

That little piece (the one the belt is on that goes on the axle) is the problem...when I am sewing, it gradually moves off the axle. The way that piece and the axle fit together, it has to be on all the way to sew properly. When this piece moves, the axle doesn't catch it, doesn't turn the belt, and doesn't sew. I am continually pushing that little piece back in place when I use my featherweight.

I don't know if this is normal for a featherweight?? I almost feel like there is a piece missing or something, that should be holding it in place.

Any ideas???

(again, if my description doesn't explain the problem, I'll take pics to show you exactly what I mean...in fact, I think I will just go do that now...)

Thanks in advance!!
