There is a knob on the front of the bed (to the left of the thread guide for bobbin winder) that doesn't show on the pictures I see online. I'd appreciate any help you could give me. I want to give this machine to a friend.
Hi MissEva, I own one 457 so maybe I can help you but I don't quite understand what in your machine does not work. The button you mention is used to raise / lower the teeth (feed dogs). This button has nothing to do with the bobbin thread. Could you explain your problem a bit more? Is the upper thread simply not looping with the bobbin thread? Have a great day!
