Ok. Thanks! I really didn't want to have to buy a new machine.
I have one more question. I wasn't sure if I had a low or high shank. I measured from the base of the presser foot (when it's down) to the hole that the screw attaches to. It looks to be around 1"- 1 1/8 inches. I've read some websites that say it's a high, and others say it's a low. Any ideas? I'm a newbie so I'm still learning.
