I called one of the shops here Saturday but they were closed. I left a message so hopefully they will call back Monday. I need to take my machine in to the serviced too. Apparently this particular Kenmore model is hard to find the foot control for. I thought of checking with thrift shops but they are just beginning to open here. I'll start checking them as they open. It's not like I can't use the machine. The foot control still works but doesn't always stop and I have to tap it with my foot to get it to stop. I also have a Brother electronic I can use. But the Kenmore will sew through anything. The Brother not so much.
