Hello, ladies, Hopefully someone here can help me. I have a Europen (German) sewing machine Veritas, which i used for the past 14 years without any single problem. It is electric, but no electronics inside, just simple basic machine with a dozen of stitches. Today I started sewing (and last time I used it just a couple of weeks ago) and the hand weel is extremely hard to turn. It is not stuck, but very tight. If I turn the needle knob off (like when i need to spool some thread on the bobbin) it is fine, but when I connect it back, the weel is very tight and the pedal obviously doen't do anything. I opened the machine completely, checked from the top and from the bottom, didn't find any visible problem. Manual said that there is permanent special greezy stuff all over (which are plenty of all over inside), so the only place I need to add oil is around the shuttle. I tried, no results. There is no dealers for my machine, so I need to be able to fix it myself. Any help will be appreciated. TIA Vera
