Thanks to all for the advice! I figure I only spent 15 dollars for it so if I do have to take it and have it "tuned up" or whatever the case may be then in the end I will only be out $40 or so bucks. I think I will go and talk to a repair shop, I'm sure there is one here in ozarks, because I know NOTHING about sewing. No better way to learn than just doing it right?
