I had to perform some major surgery on my sewing machine today and had been a little worried it was over the hill.  A good clean, some oil and a bit of jiggery pokery and all seems well.  The presser foot wasn’t pressing down hard enough and so not holding the fabric or moving it through properly.   Think it was a problem with the spring sticking inside and oil seems to have helped.

Really didnt want to have to consider replacing it, especially when i am saving up for an overlocker!

Been doing lots of sewing.  Details and pics to follow!
