My singer sewing machine came to me from a friend. It doesn't have a model number on it, neither does any of the accompanying literature... manuals, instruction sheets indicate what model it is, so I have had to enter a random model in the space below in order to submit this request for help!It does have this printed on the manual: "5,8,10, 13 &22 Pattern Sewing Machines."Here is the problem:When I raise the presser foot lever the presser foot shank does not raise. The foot remains down. I can lift the presser foot manually, however. When I do this the lever does not move.
I have the exact same problem as the person with the Singer, but I have an ancient Montgomery Ward sewing machine. I have oiled it everywhere I thought it needed, but will open it up and try it again. If that doesn't work, I suppose it will need to be serviced, and I'll let everyone know how that goes.
