Sewing Machine Won't Stop Sewing! How do i turn it off ?

I have a vintage Stradivaro sewing machine, had it tuned up last year so it's in great shape. Problem: I plug it in and it begins sewing right away. There is no on off switch to control it, further more it only has a knee presser foot. Pressing the foot in has no effect. It just goes! Does anyone know how i can turn it off/on ? Really want to use the machine! Thanks!

SOURCE: The presser foot came off Brothers sewing machine

position the foot under the shaft making sure the horizontal pin on the foot is in line with the horizontal groove on the end of presser foot fitting on the shaft. Lower the pressor foot arm and it should snap right on. If not, press it up manually. the directions should be in your manual. If you don't have your manual, you can get it online at www.brother-usa.com

SOURCE: presser foot lifter is stuck can i fix it

If you can't lift the presser foot up at all undo the presser bar screw on top of the presser bar, if you have a dial turn it to 0, you should now be able to move the lever, if it is still tight put some WD40 on the presser bar and leave it for a couple of hours.

That is probably a personal definition. To me, a vintage machine would be one that is more mechanical than computerized. .Some (below) seem to think it would be a heavy metal mechanical machine. But, to throw a monkey wrench into the discussion, what differentiates vintage from antique?

Needle won't move.....

I cannot find anything about "American Standard Sewing Machines" in a google search. Thoughts: sounds like your gears are frozen. I would take it to a different repair shop. Try to find an older person to repair it. Never under estimate the old guys.

Power won't stop Husqvarna/Viking 6020 sewing machine

grant514 Has pretty much hit the nail on the head but the RF suppressor is located in the motor housing, not the foot pedal. It bridged the terminals where the foot pedal connects. Removing this capacitor resolved the same issue in my machine and given the absence of radio receiving equipment in my home now I have had no ill effects.

Bernina 1010 (approximately 20 years old): the bobbin winder has stopped rotating- only a turn or so and then stops

Hello, from one sewer to another, a machine that is 20 years old does need a professional tune up from time to time. If you can, take it to a sewing machine store or a sew/vac store to get a professional cleaning and tuning. There are manuals on how to do this, but it is best to leave it to a pro. I own a number of vintage machines and I can tell you, I have wasted countless hours trying to do it myself until I found a pro in my area who sell vacuum cleaners and sewing machine. I found out that machines, like cars, need tune ups. Happy Sewing!

Extra discs for an vintage Elna Supermatic plus pressor feet.

Try the usual eBay route, but also approach any Sewing Repair shop as they often acquire odd bits from old machines....We had 9 disks for a lady with an Elna SU only last week, all from a machine traded 2 years ago and really beyond resale.
