Stretch & Sew E-76
Hello! I was gifted this Stretch & Sew E-76 machine from my grandma. The top of it is off as my husband is trying to fix it and see what can be done. But, we went to try it out and it is completely seized. To be transparent-I am a beginner sewer-my grandma just wanted to gift this to me when she heard I was taking an interest in sewing. My husband and I cannot find a manual online ANYWHERE. After reading and researching, my understanding is that this machine is rare and was only manufactured for a brief time. And because of that, it seems finding online manuals or even copies for sale on eBay are not options. My grandma unfortunately isn’t able to find the manual either. When the machine turns on and the pedal is pressed, it hums, but nothing moves. The hand wheel cannot be moved at all, and the sewing needle is currently stuck in the up position. I’m just wondering if anyone in this forum happens to have a copy of the manual digitally, or if you have any advice as to what we might try? My husband is generally pretty good at fixing most anything, but he’s running into troubles not being able to find anything about it online to read more into what might be the issue. Thanks for reading!
