Oh both machines are sewing again! I am so happy!!! I went to YouTube ( my kids and grandkids will be so proud I remembered to-lol) I watched this lady and thought I think I can do that myself. Well I did what she said and got my dogs up. Put my plate and everything back on and went to sew but fabric wasn’t moving through. I guess I got nervous then and called my friends son. He is so smart when it comes to ANY tech stuff. He likes taking things apart and seeing how they work. Well he was eager, because he likes a challenge and never worked on a sewing machine before, so came right over. He took all the plastic off my machine so we could clean all the lint out. This is just a $400 sewing/embroidery machine from Walmart I’ve had about 10+ years and has never been serviced so fuzz was everywhere. We cleaned it all and he adjusted the dog like I had done until it was correct. Put everything back together and I sewed forward backward etc to make sure it would feed both ways. I almost hugged him!!! Then he did Nora’s adjustment with just taking the throat plate off. I bought it to her this morning when I came. I’ve been staying all week with the kids while my son-in-law works because my daughter drove the bus with the church youth to camp. Anyway, Nora’s eyes lit up when she saw her machine back. She is making something as I text. I told her she is doing really well, keeping her top stitching straight, even and close to the edge. Look her at her strap tab for a little pouch she made.
Needless to say we both are extremely happy.
