If you have done all that is possible and it still doesn't work, I would say it needs to go to the repairman.

Our sewing machine repairman gives his customers a break. If we pay him $35-45 and he will look through and clean the entire machine. If it needs something fixed with new parts, he always calls first. He adjusts everything for that $35-40 dollars. Then on top of that, if the machine stops working during the entire next 12 months, he fixes it for free.




Hope it doesn't need too much work. Does a neighbor have a machine you can barrow until your's is fixed? Later, Gwyn

Thanks Gwen. I'm just going to take it in to the repairman maybe on Saturday. It needs a good cleaning anyway. Wish I could find a repairman like yours.

Thanks again,
Bettia
I do have a spare.
