I can't see the needle hole when the foot is down and the needle comes to rest on top of the foot. I have tried raping the end in a heavy towel and turning with pliers no go. then put Tri-oil on it over night and tried again nothing. I am totatly blown away about how this happened. the motor did run very fast and bounced a little before I got it slowed down.... Now I just want to get it sewing, my best machine is in getting a belt installed. 6 weeks now. And I need to get some blocks done for an exchange.
I posted some pics if anyone can help me.

Karen,
Wow! That is the crookedest pressure foot I've seen to date. Cathy has given you perfect advice so I won't add to what she said, but I will elaborate on it just a wee bit. If your eyes sometimes do not line things up well, here is a tip. I have two small metal rulers. I lay one against the feed dogs then lower the presser foot. Lay the second ruler on top of the first but up against the side of the foot. The longer rulers will make seeing the misalignment much easier. I've done quite a few like this and it works pretty good.
