Featherweight failure

 I'm happy to say the winner of the EPP is Joyce C. Thank you to those who played along.

I am on another mission. Last year I made lap quilts for the nursing home my aunt was in.  She has since passed away, but I decided that I will try once again to continue to make and donate lap quilts for the residents.

I started over the weekend using my Senior Featherweight Singer. 


But just as I was sewing the last block, the uptake lever refused to go up! So now I will have to find someone to take a look and see if it can be repaired. Sigh...

If you've never noticed, there are many Featherweight maintenance YouTube videos on line .... It might just be a thread fragment or a need for an oiling and you'd be up and running.
Plus, it's fun to watch people who love Featherweights take them apart and put them back together.

I did look online at some of the YouTubes. But when I opened the side of the Featherweight, it was not the same configuration as on YouTube :-(

Have you checked out The Featherweight Shop website? They have lots of information on repairing and servicing.
