Featherweight question
Hi all. Haven’t been here for ages but as I’ve recently acquired a few older machine I find myself coming back.
I got a 1951 Featherweight a couple of months ago. I did a tuneup on her and she’s running good. Now, however, she seems to be running very slowly—but only when I first start sewing. After a few minutes she seems to “wake up” and starts going at a faster speed.
My hubby suggested adding a little more grease to the motor—thinking maybe because she was old and perhaps not used much for awhile, maybe the grease I put in before had been distributed and it needed more. I did that and she still is slow at first.
Anyone have any suggestions?
