I still can't get it to work so you have got me to thinking that I may not have the correct foot pedal for the machine, or a faulty foot pedal. There is no give for the heel to push the back of the pedal down further, it is already down as far as it can go. I have tried pushing down in other areas of the pedal but I only get a full needle down and up again.
I am thinking about buying a replacement foot pedal, what would I need to look out for to make sure that I buy one that will work for the needle down and not just be the same as the one I already have? Or if my foot pedal is faulty, is it an easy fix? The foot pedal I have is a type 346.
