Here are some methods you can try to remove that pesky sock:
Using a Coat Hanger:
Turn off your vacuum and unplug it for safety.
Straighten out a wire coat hanger, ensuring it has no sharp edges or points.
Carefully insert one end of the coat hanger into the vacuum hose.
Gently maneuver the coat hanger around, trying to hook onto the sock.
Once you have a good grip on the sock, slowly pull it out of the hose.
Remember to exercise caution to avoid damaging your vacuum cleaner or injuring yourself.
Vacuuming in Reverse:
Locate your vacuum cleaner's exhaust port.
Disconnect or detach any accessories from this port.
Attach your vacuum cleaner hose securely over this port.
Turn on your vacuum cleaner and let it run for several seconds.
The reverse airflow created may dislodge and push out the stubborn sock from within the hose.
Seek Professional Help:
If both methods fail, consider contacting a local appliance repair service or reaching out directly to the manufacturer of your specific model.
Trained professionals can offer expert advice or perform repairs if needed.
Remember to turn off the vacuum and unplug it before attempting any disassembly or cleaning.
Take off the brush cover. Gently grip the sock with your fingers or a pair of pliers.
Pull the sock out in the direction opposite to the rotation of the roller brush.
If the sock is tightly wedged, you may need to wiggle it back and forth while pulling..
After removal, check for damage. If the brush bristles are bent or worn, consider replacing the roller brush.
Reassemble and Test following the manual instructions.
There are a few possible reasons why your Simplicity American Quilter SA2400LX is only stitching straight:
Stitch length setting: Check that the stitch length setting is not set to zero or a very small number. If it is, the machine will only sew straight stitches.
Stitch selector mechanism: It's possible that there is a problem with the stitch selector mechanism that is preventing it from engaging properly. You may need to take it to a repair technician to have this checked and fixed.
Tension setting: Make sure that the tension setting is correct for the type of stitch you are trying to sew. If the tension is too high, it can cause the machine to only sew straight stitches.
Timing: The timing of the machine may be off, which can cause the machine to not properly engage the stitch selector mechanism. This is a more complicated issue and may require professional repair.
If you are comfortable with sewing machine repairs and want to try to fix it yourself, start with checking the stitch length and tension settings. If those are not the issue, it may be best to take it to a repair technician for further diagnosis and repair.
did you try a new starter (i doubt that's it anyway)? The next thing to consider is grounds but this is a really strange situation.. you have replaced everything i would except the starter.. could it be a computer problem (if so i've never heard of it)? or is there a relay maybe even a fuse that deals with a starter relay? just guessing but maybe it's a direction to try
Quite an undertaking if not very experienced with sewing...The pattern instructions should step you through the process--just follow it chronologically. There are multiple web sites that will help with the process as well. Generally, match & pin together the bodice front and bodice side for both right & left side. Then match & pin together bodice back and bodice side for both right & left side. Then match & pin front to back shoulder (both right & left side) and stitch. Match the bodice backs & bodice fronts, and stitch (both sides). (Since it is a girl's pattern, there are probably no bust darts to deal with.) Sew the skirt pieces together (front to back), then gather the skirt waist. Match pattern marks of skirt waist to bodice waist and stitch. Add zipper. Then finish neckline and armholes and then hem skirt.
