My lovely FW was put away a few weeks ago, after making some masks with no trouble at all. I took her out of her box last night so that I can use the Ruffler - she's the only SM I have at home which it fits. I gave it a test run, but it wasn't running at all well, the stitches were varying sizes and the machine was noisy.
I've had bobbin trouble with this machine before, and know what to do, but unfortunately, nothing I have done has fixed the problem.
The machine runs nicely until I try to put the needle plate back, but then it tries to lift the plate - as if the feed dogs are lifting it up!!
Could I possibly have knocked the timing out? Or have I done even worse damage...
I can manage without the Ruffler, but I'm really concerned about my lovely FeatherWeight...
If anyone can help I would be very grateful as I don't know of any local SM Engineer.
