  • trouble shooting. my sewing machine (2009 Singer Athena) will only sew 7 or 8 stitches and then stops with a quiet beep. I've switched foot controllers and the results are the same. Everything else on the machine seems to be as it should be. What could be the problem? Submitted on 16-1-2023 at 18:31
