Thank you. Yes, the repair charge would be more than I payed for it new. I am a beginner sewer and keep hitting roadblocks. I think I’m going to exactly as you said. I wish I could find out every part that is in the sewing machine. I think it would attach to some kind of bolt. I did go on YouTube and found that this does happen but still don’t know where it came from. Ill
keep you posted. Theses are times I really miss my mom.
