Foot pedal problem
In 2013 I bought a Singer Quantum Stylist 9960 when Amazon had a Flash sale (less than $200). I bought it mainly to take with me to classes or Project Linus meet-ups. It's been gently used and has only traveled from AZ to PA when we moved in 2022. I hadn't sewn on it in quite a while, so I got it set up in April, 2024 to give it a run.
I got an error about the foot pedal. It said to release the foot pedal. It would stop sewing and the start/stop button flashed red. I figured it needed a new foot pedal so I ordered one. It's been in the box since April because I put the machine in time-out and haven't used it.
Yesterday, I re-arranged a sewing area and got the machine out. I cleaned it (it wasn't dirty) and changed the needle. I connected the new foot pedal and sat down to test drive it. I was so disappointed when it did the same thing. Now what? Do I have a short in wiring somewhere, I wonder? Is it worth the cost of getting it repaired?
Does anyone else have this machine? Did you have a problem with the foot pedal? What did you do?
