My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Problem with Pressure Foot

14 years ago

The pressure foot on my machine is very stiff and will not go down by it's self. Is there a way to loosen it? I did try oiling it, but that didn't work. I would hate to take it into a repair shop and get charged $50.00 just to loosen something.

Thanks
