When I made the comment above I thought I had ‘told the whole story’. I had a day that day as I said from the beginning. First my machine feed dogs wouldn’t raise so we got Nora’s , my 10 year old granddaughter’s machine out of the box to use. I had bought this machine for her brand new when she was 3 years old. We made a doll pillow and pillowcase then her mom put it back in the box and it has sat 7 years in her closet.
Well, I was showing her how to thread, talking about what each thing is called and I showed her the switch on the back that lowers and raises the feed dog. Well as I was demonstrating the feed dogs lowered but then HERS WONT COME UP! My goodness all I did was slide a switch. Nora was visibly upset. I told her I did nothing wrong. I said that’s why you have the switch and you are supposed to be able to slide it without anything going wrong. I told her I would have it fixed or buy her yet another new machine.🙄 what is the chance of both switches giving out? I could understand if mine was worn out. I sew almost every day but her machine was used one time 7 years ago…..
