I had the same thing happen to me when my husband was oiling my machine. I told him he messed it up, you have to pay to fix it!! Well, he fixed it himself.
Look on the top of your machine and there should be a silver rod or knob on the left side. The rod and/or knob has two pieces to it, if you push the outside ring, the inside rod should pop up. Push the rod almost all the way down to the outer ring, and it should fix your problem. Hope it works for you. :-D

Ok think back to yesterday or today when you last sew with the machine. What did you do that would keep the presser foot from ,lowering.
What kind of machine do you have?

I have a New Home Sewing machine. I looked at my machine tonight, the rod at the top of your sewing machine is what is stopping your presser foot.

The rod controls the presser foot, if the rod is up too much the pressure will not be enough to lower the presser foot, it will keep tohe foot up, not down.

Really nice layout and a great way to disply a few focus blocks. Very attractive quilt! Good luck on getting the machine fixed quickly. Mine just went through a bit of a problem and I had to struggle along without it for a short time.

Oh I feel for you. I hope they look at the machine and find a quick fix for it. The quilt is beautiful.

Nice quilt. Should bring alot of money.

I have a Viking Quilt Designer 2 - it's already at the shop so I can't check it now but I don't recollect it having any rod/knob on it :?

Soooo sad to hear that..hoping you will get your m/c back and could finish your awesome quilt...I love that quilt, like the colors you chosen. they are very perfect coordinated.

What kind of machine do you have? My Elna 6500 has done that several times. I could get it off "bobbin winding" by inserting a small screw driver or something similar in the hole beside the pole that holds the bobbin when winding, and pushing toward the left. I had it worked on and thought it was fixed...did it again! I have to drive clear to Dallas to get it fixed and they charged me $125 the last time. I've discovered it's nice to have a back-up machine on hand. Now I just wind bobbins on it.
