I meant to comment on the 'its not broken singer' site. Really interesting, I just might have to start looking for that foot!

I usually take her to the repairman when that happens. But, if I knew what causes it. I would do what ever to stop it.
A lot of the time you can pop the top of the machine off and open the face plate and take a hair drier and warm it up then put a few drops of oil in the spots and it will work.

Billy, I have a 221 Featherweight that the case is in bad shape. Do you know where I can get the fabric to cover the case so I can redo it? Thanks
