Questions about Dressmaker machine
I foolishly offerred to clean, oil & repair my sister's Dressmaker SS 2402. She hasnt used it much over the years (Mom bought it new for her many years ago). I guess I got cocky after reading how you guys just delve into any machine! I've been slowly working on my Mom's old Red Eye treadle that I learned to sew on (a long time ago Lol) & it made me brave! Now I've started bidding on machines!! Great! Anyway I digress. I haven't started on the Dressmaker yet, but she says there's thread stuck in the bobbin area which doesn't sound bad, but she also says a piece broke off the bobbin winder & now it wont work. I've looked on line a little but haven't seen much about these machines. Are parts available?Is it generally a very difficult part to replace? She included in a ziploc bag, a broken white very hard (from age?) rubber thing that looks similar to the little black tires for bobbin winders. I looked at the manual but the pictures aren't good & it doesnt look like there was a tire on it originally. The other thing which is cosmetic is her foot control. It has large rust spots all over it which I cant stand! Not sure how it happened. Whats the best way to fix? Sorry so wordy, but I want to get started this w/e & wanted to give some time for your wise advice! Thanks in advance for any help you can give! This board is fabulous!
