Glad it is working. What did you do to fix it?

Thank you all so very much for all your great suggestions. I feel really stupid not to have figured this out for myself but it's where I am in life I guess, dumber then a plank. I'm so glad that you got yours fixed and it's purring like a kitten now. Enjoy!! Good luck with you EBay purchase. I'm sure you won't have any problems. If you do there's tons of helpful folks on here to help out. |
You're not stupid! You asked for help, that is not stupid - that is smart enough to know you needed help and you knew where to ask for it!! That is smart! :>) Stupid would have been to not ask,continue to struggle with it possible damaging the machine or not ever using it!
Also, please correct your bad report of the seller on E-Bay. The seller DID call you AND HELPED you with your problem! :>) Not everybody can answer e-mail instantly. I myself may go days before I look at my computer/e-mail, etc. |
I have the Featherweight book by Johnson-Seibro also and it comes in real handy - pictures and all.

Another good book for FWs is by David McCallum. It is called The Featherweight 221 and I. He also has a DVD. It is all about knowing and maintaining your FW. It is SO thorough! He has a website at featherweight221.com He also has parts and accessories.
I think the book is awesome. I haven't watched the DVD yet, but I've only had my FW for about a month now. I was told I should give her a name... so I did. I named her "Jeanie", after my Mom, Jean, and because she helps make my wishes come true. :-D Happy quilting! |

I am so glad to hear that this had a happy ending.

Happy quilting! BUT.. I should name my FWs? That may be the most difficult part of owning one! It usually takes me several weeks just to find the true name for any new dog or cat I get! :oops: And I used to name my vehicles, but my last few cars never did get named. I don't think they ever deserved a name...:hunf: For now.. the FWs are nameless until they "speak" to me and tell me their names.. :shock: |
