I believe something is wrong with the plug attached to the side of it that the machine plugs into because if i plug it directly into the wall it operates but sews continuously as it is not made to operate that way. May be an easy fix for someone who knows how to repair it. I have gotten it to run while using the plug as well, on and off though. So may be a loose connection or even dust. Unsure and selling for repairs. Small amount of rust (see photo) Comes with case and pedal.
