How do I get zigzag dials to work?
If it is a mechanical machine, it has probably seized due to lack of regular oiling and cleaning. Mechanical machines require regular maintenance, just like your car. If your car is not greased and the oil changed regularly, it will cease working. Same with your sewing machine.
Take it to a repair service. In the future, be sure to clean and oil regularly (at least every 6 months if in storage, every 40 hours of sewing time) and use a fresh good quality sewing machine oil (not 3-in-1, WD-40, cooking oil, or the old brown stinky stuff in grandma's sewing basket). Apply only 1-2 drops of oil each spot as instructed in the owner's manual.
