Sewing Machine Emergency!!!
#1
I have a Kenmore with a little age. Christmas 1999. I love it really have no desire for a new one. Anyways my Feeddogs started acting up. material would not go move. It started doing it in the middle of me sewing the inseam on the last pair of PJS. I took it apart cleaned really good. check everything the book said. Then it started working as good as new. Then after about an hour of sewing it happened again right in the middle of sewing a seam. I played with the feed dog drop down switched it back an forth and it started working again. Well I called it quits for the night. know it needs servicing badly but I need it for a few more days .
Has this happened to any one out there? if so did you know what it was and is it something simple or do I have to put it in the shop.
Thank you all ahead of time. How wonderful to belong to such a great group.

I'm glad your machine is working again too! It's horrible when it doesn't and there is a deadline to meet.
Of course, the darn things never do act up or quit when we have plenty of time to take it to the repair shop! :|
