Default Fixed it Myself!

I have a Pfaff 1222 that was my mom's originally. I've been sewing on it for at least 20 years. It's been too stiff to turn forward, but not backward. I pulled it completely apart. I oiled EVRYTHING that moved, still a bit stiff. The weird thing was, when it was laying on it's back it was loose, when standing tall it was tight. Talked to a friend who was a metal shop teacher before he retired. He said to flip my reverse/freemotion switch back and forth so I could find it. Oiled it. Nice and loose again! Put it all back together and YEAH ME it's working fine. I'm so proud of myself. I LOVE this machine. I have had a Babylock. I have a Viking, quite new, and haven't cared for either. I'm so happy to get this one working again.
