How to fix a pressure foot lifter on a singer tradition

If the presser foot isn't connected to the presser foot shank, place the foot under the center of the shank. Lower the presser foot lifter making sure that the shank goes over the presser foot pin. Press down firmly on the screw that holds the presser foot shank until you hear the foot snap into the shank. Do not turn the presser foot shank screw. See the pictures on page 9 of the manual (page 11 of the PDF). Manuals LIb has this page here https://www.manualslib.com/manual/470415/Singer-7033.html?page=11#manual . The manual is also available from Singer on their support page: https://www.singer.com/support . The direct link to the manual is https://www.singer.com/sites/default/files/product_manual/SINGER%207029_7033_%207035%20and%209410%20Sewing%20Machine.pdf . For feet that are attached to the slant shank, you loosen the presser foot shank screw. Place the shank over the presser foot screw and then tighten the screw to hold the presser foot. If you removed a foot and the shank together, put it back on. Make sure that the needle and the presser foot lifter are in their highest positions. Push up the front side (toe) of the presser foot until the foot snaps off the shank.

If the presser foot doesn't snap into place, make sure that you have everything aligned properly. Otherwise check for damage to the presser foot and the shank. Replace any damaged parts. Some presser feet are available here: https://www.sewingpartsonline.com/singer-7033-sewing-machine-parts.aspx .

I hope this helps.

No it is best just to replace the foot pedal.

This has been asked before, see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVczdRK_K6s

Inside the foot the wires are connected to two different screws. They are obviously coming loose by being pulled.
1. Open the foot on the bottom.
2. Look where the screws are. You need to have the wires connected there.
3. Before connecting to screws: tie a knot in the wire from the inside of the foot pedal where the wire protrudes through the hole.
4. Now, tightly connect the wire to each screw. Apply bottom of bracket. Now, sew!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds like the linkage between the lifter and foot is caput. If you open the case, you void the warranty.

sorry can't help you there may be you need it check by a sewing machine mechanic may be a screw is lose and need to be tight.

Your question is not clear. The pressure foot lifter only lifts the pressure foot. It doesn't make the needle spin.

Had the same problem.
Open the cover where the light bulb is.

Follow the presser foot rod up into the machine.

You will find a metal keeper with a set screw facing the now open end of the machine.

That set screw has most likely come loose.

Since the presser foot is spring loaded to the down position leave the presser foot raising lever in the down position.

With your flat bladed screwdriver, gently push the metal keeper to it's lowest position. If it does not go easy, loosen the metal keeper set screw a bit. Lefty loosey.

Tighten the set screw on the metal keeper. Righty tighty.

I have seen these machines with broken presser bar clamps (something inside the head). If it is just a bind then some oil on the presser bar may work, if the clamp is broken then it is probably not worth fixing.
Good luck!

These plastic presser bar lifters do wear out a lot ,very common,,,,,,,,You can lift it up and file as close to the machine side on top just a couple of stroke son the file will usually give it a surface to hang on and it will stay up ,much easier than changing the plastic lever
