YIPPIE!!!!! Guess what ? I finally got the knob to turn, the needle out and the thingie that raises the foot now moves too. It only too wd40, a full can of degreaser and a paint striper gun. Hey it worked for those things. SOoooooo now I'll let her sit and moan for a few days then try it all again. Thanks for all yalls support. I really needed the help and encouragement. Thanks , Eileene
