Hi,
My apologies if this is not the right place to post but it's a close as I could come.
I am not a sewing machine user or repairman but am trying to help a lady get her Singer Model 1411 machine back in operation.
The problem:
Feed dogs will not actuate when presser foot is in the down position.
Observations:
The feed dogs work properly if machine is turned backward with the big knob on the right end. They also work properly with the presser foot in the up position. Changing the stitch length, balance and type have no effect on the feed dogs.
Action Taken:
I have removed the bottom plate and could find nothing broken or out-of-place. I removed the left-upper end cover and picked out a snarl of thread with no effect.
I would appreciate any insights you might have on this problem.
Thank you.
Mike
