White FW hesitates before stitching. Anyone know why?
Hi everyone,
I just cleaned and oiled my White FW but it still hesitates when I press on the foot pedal to sew. I've looked online but don't see this addressed. Anyone? TIA As an aside- I've never liked my white one as well as my black ones. |
it's probably the foot pedal mechanism.
something is catching inside. many of the cheapy-cheap new plastic ones do that. the vintage metal ones usually do not. |
Take the pedal apart, clean out any dust and lint, then test.
|
It seems to be the fly wheel. But I'm not certain.

There is a way to adjust inside the foot pedal. I think the Featherweight shop site has a tutorial?

Did you possibly re-adjust the belt and maybe a tad too tight now?

I think that's it. It's now running well. Thanks, everyone.
