Something strange is happening with my thread injector, and I don't know if it is a big deal, or something simple.
I have a 221 Featherweight that my grandmother got as a wedding present in the '40s and it seems to be ill.
The motor turns the wheel but the needle doesn't really move.
If there is any pressure on the needle (sewing with fabric) the machine just stops.
Well, the wheel (pt# 45817) spins but nothing else happens.
I'm guessing there is some type of clutch system in the machine?
Here is a diagram I found that shows the part number referenced.
