I have a Singer Featherweight C240 which I purchased on Amazon Canada for $300.00 plus shipping. I am having trouble just getting it to sew with the foot control. I start using it then when I resume it won't work...I have to use the button to sew. I could be doing something wrong...just don't know what. I called Sew Mastery in US which have great tutorials on various machines...this one included but he said I needed to talk to a dealer and that it was a great machine.. So far I would like to put it in the driveway and run over it!!! I am very frustrated with this machine as I don't like sewing with the button.
