September Foot of the Month:

If you want to be ahead for next month... here is the October Foot of the Month:


Ask the Expert!

 

Melanie asked: "Why won't my Feed Dogs Come back up?? I tried everything and they are stuck!"

"Hi Melanie, great question! When you drop your feed dogs, you will see right away that they have been lowered down. However, when you go to put them back up again, don't be troubled when you don't see them move, and don't worry you HAVE NOT broken your machine.

After flipping the switch to bring them back up again, turn your hand-wheel one full turn towards you over the top, or press the needle up/down button two times. This should solve your problem, so you are all ready to continue sewing!"
