Good points...with my Juki, I always just bumped the knee lift to move the fabric back a bit to lock the stitches....this one has reverse, so I guess that eliminates the need for that.
I'll follow up with the vendor listed above and see what I'd be looking at.
The lever lift on this was pretty sticky at first. I took that all apart and cleaned it up, adjusted the foot height etc, cleaned and oiled everything up and it's a beautiful working machine.
It was locked up when I first got it.. that turned out to be a bent needle plate blocking the hook...whew! But I figured it was worth repairing if needed for the price.....
We hardly ever go to yard sales, but my wife saw this one online and suggested going. Was a company that buys storage units then sells off during the year and this was their year end sale. I looked at the pics and spied just the corner of this machine behind other items, so we went. The owner said I was the first person to ever ask about it, so how does $25 sound?....uh..yep, sounds fine to me sir. Thank you. Then he threw in a HUGE box of cotton thread spools (I'll find a use somewhere for them lol), a couple big rolls of waterproof canvas material, a pair of Wiss 22W shears, thread stand, basically anything he could find related so he wouldn't have to chuck it in the bin lol.
I'm still thanking my Wife for suggesting we go. :)
