I bought a Kenmore 1252 today. Supposedly it’s working, but I just realized the clutch knob won’t budge. I messaged the seller who said she never used, didn’t know it existed and had no idea she was supposed to. She said the needle always just went up & down when she wound bobbins. Not sure how long it’s been since it’s been turned. (She inherited it from her grandmother)
I plan to try loosening or removing the screw tomorrow (when I haven’t had a glass of wine) but if I can’t get it to move is it OK to leave it as is so long as it sews?
