Ok, I'm done now for the foreseeable future. Darn piece of JUNK Singer Featherweight!! It's been giving me nothing but fits, and now I broke a gear!! It's my backup machine, and frankly it was probably a good thing it sat in the closet most of the time. I was trying to change the stitch selector and the knob froze up and broke! I can do one funky zigzag right now, which works for one thing I was doing, but I guess I will have to sit and wait til my good machine comes back. Hopefully within a week. Grrrrrrr.
What can you expect for something made overseas (will not say where in case someone has one!!) It was a newer Featherweight, a 221 in case anyone is wondering.
