Welcome, Valinbean. I'm guessing that you have a pink machine. From my understanding these machines were made by Brother. There will probably be a "Brother" equivalent machine. These machine were made in the time where it was common to have many different names on the same machine. There is a facebook page for Pink Atlas Sewing machines at
https://www.facebook.com/groups/544577085733663/ I used to belong to some Yahoo groups, that were quite helpful with my vintage machines. When Yahoo did away with groups, most migrated to either facebook or io.groups.
The machine will need a good cleaning and oiling. Sometimes that is all that is needed. It is possible that the machine has the wrong foot on it. How is the knob malfunctioning?
We like pictures. In order to post pictures on Quilting Board, you will probably need to reduce or compress the picture to a

I have found that only the big red "Reply" button or "Quote" work to give me the paper clip icon to work for adding pictures.
