Thank everyone. I did read the manual and watched DVD however it was one of those ha ah moments. When I took it to the shop the first thing the guy said did you get this adapter for the foot with the machine? NO it was missing so I used one off my other one. Guess what the one made for that is much longer. All I would have to have done was put on one that did not just use the slip on slip off button and it worked. He still has it as he wanted t check things out but he also told me it did not need to be cleaned and oiled that it still had lubricant and it was as clean as a whistle. So he was honest too. So glad it was not a lot of money.
