I have a Singer, too. It's a Genie. Was my mother-in-law's first machine and when she upgraded about 20 years ago, she gave the Genie to me. Too bad she's not still around to finally see me use it! Although she wasn't the greatest sewer, she was a heck of a lady, lol.
She made me a dress with a real crooked waist one time, but I did wear it! With a VERY WIDE belt ;) I will try this if I have the problem again, tks.
