If you use heat you will still need to get the old oil off the machine.

I am hoping I can do that if it starts to move. The other side was stuck too when I brought it home but the oil took care of that.

One part of that knob pushes in and the other pulls out then turns while the little plate is out. The knob will not turn if the plate is remotely in the slot.
|
The plate on the other side stays in the slot. It seems like that is what lifts it. Now the plate on the stuck side goes all the way into the slot, but has never been all the way out of the slot. I have been pushing and pulling in every combination I can think of. Will try again tomorrow. Maybe some miracle will occur during the night!!

Yes - several times. I have it open to the page where it describes how to change the positions on the stitch selector dials.

I wish you could too. The rear knob works fine. That adjusts the right side of the stitch selector. the one in front that pushes in does move, but, the arm in the slot for the different stitches doesn't budge. It is between the A and B. The piggy nose knob does look straight.

When I'm at a loss I drench the trouble areas with PB Blaster and work it in by operating and moving knobs and spray again and again until everything is working smooth. Sort of a tough machine to start on and very difficult if someone was abusing or tinkering around before you got a hold of it.

Thanks. Where do I get PB Blaster?
