No, no battery.
My first thought was that the board had gone, but when it started working perfectly again this morning, I changed that idea. I would like to know if the boards work on and off when they are going, or just go all of a sudden.
I put Triflow on a Q-tip and rubbed it on the presser foot bar and the needle bar, so those parts have been oiled. I think I will take it in for a service, because it seems a bit noisy even though it sews well. I'll have my repair person check the board/s.

Or the mother board might be going.
Or it might be sticky from lack of oil.[/QUOTE]
