Y'all are right. I found the presser foot mounted inside the cabinet. Took her to the sewing place and dropped her off for a cleaning and checkup. I figure $70 is worth it hoping there isn't any additional problems. I lack the confidence to do it myself. You should see the cabinet. It is so dusty/dirty. My husband said I should take it out to the yard and hose it down. I tried calmly to explain that you can't hose down wood that it needs some TLC with some murphy's soap.
