Oh SewExtreme, that looks wild and crazy. Being a homegrown Montana, looks like something we would do to a machine not realizing it might be a bit less attractive. That is the RedNeck way ya know.
Ok, now for asking a question on an old machine I have. I received my grandmother's Singer 2404. It is not a vintage perse, but is from the 40s or 50s. I need to know what is wrong with it. It has a nice stitch, got that part figured out, but when you use it for a short duration of time, it starts to slow way down and does not have any speed to it. Not sure what is the problem. If you plug it into the light switch part, the machine zooms so i do nto think is sewing machine but is the foot pedal. How does one take it apart to fix it? or do I have to buy a new foot pedal and if so, how do I go about getting/finding one?
