Jack got tangled up in the foot pedal cord and pulled it off the table. Thankfully, he was not hurt. The machine however, will need some professional attention.
@eudora yes I do. This is why the Necchi saw the light of day after being couped up in that cabinet for several years, posing as a little table. And I have some other machines that are fun to use and need human interaction. Also, I happen to know a wonderful sewing machine fixer. Hopefully it can be repaired. It was just such a shock. There was hyperventilating and tears.
