Genie,
It sounds as if the tension spring that presses down on the ratchet wheel may
be broken and needs to be replaced on old Stitch.....What version of software
are you running now? Yes the broken presser foot ratchet spring and the thread
breaks are probably related.....check out your "parts CD" to see how this
little contration fits together, and for the part number, it is easily replaced.

Subject: [amayausers.com] Presser foot and needle plate
Hi Folks,
I have a mystery that I have't heard about. Two actually, but maybe they are
related. 1) My presser foot wheel is so loose that while sewing the presser
food moves all the way down (the wheel turns on it's own from the vibrations.)
There is a spot in the center of the wheel that looks like an adjustment thing.
I tried tightening that but no go. If I hold the wheel with a finger it will
remain where it's put, but as soon as I let go, the wheel begins to turn. Is
there some secret way to tighten this or adjust it? 2) I kept getting 5 to
10 thread breaks on any flats. I swithed over to hats using the same design and
no thread breaks. I switched back to flats and voila, more thread breaks. Since
an easy variable was the needle plate, I switched to sewing flats with the
raised needle plate. No thread breaks. Does anyone know what would cause the
breaks that doesn't cause them using the raised needleplate? Could the falling
presser foot been related? Thanks in Advance for any coaching.
Warm Regards,
