Your White appears to be a mechanical machine. The instructions below address a seized machine, however, if your White has not had a thorough clean and oil recently, it could be susceptible to seizing. Wheel on right side that controls the needle up and down is very tight...

If your machine is not broken, it most likely is seized due to old oil that has hardened. How long since its last service? Refrain from trying to run the machine until the issue is resolved as it could damage the motor. or more... Wheel on right side that controls the needle up and down is very tight...

ALWAYS RAISE the presser foot and rethread the top thread from the beginning!!!

If you have installed a brand new needle and still experience the problem, take your machine for service. The needle striking may further damage the machine and could cause you injury.

It's on the machine bed to the left of the wheel, flush with the flat sewing area. It probably starts with fr and then numbers. It's right below the bobbin winder.

My white treadle is hard to pull up sometimes. There is a cable that lets the top of cabinet down or open. See (from underneath) if the cable is hung up on something. Here are two websites that can help you too. http://www.ismacs.net and http://sewmachinerepair.com Both of these are very good.

I have an old white with the treadle and there is a very good website that you should be able to find out. There are two good websites, http://www.ismacs.net and http://sewmachinerepair.com you find links to more info as well.

What is your question?

Sorry that is not available for free online.

That's a statement, not a question.

Adjusting stitches how? Are the stitches too short, too long, is the tension off, are there loops of thread accumulating (bird nests), thread pulls out of the fabric, is the top thread not picking up the bobbin thread????
