    Default New Home Sewing Machine won't reverse

    Why won't my machine sew in reverse when I press down on the reverse switch on a New Home machine?

    Uhh, it's a forward thinker? Just kidding, trying to lighten up what must be frustrating you to no end.

    You say it's new, has the reverse ever worked? Or is this right out of the box not working?

    Is it one you have to hold down while you are doing the reverse stitches?
    Use it up, Wear it out,
    Make it do, Or do without. ~unknown

    I'm thinking it's that you have to hold it down the whole time you want to stitch in reverse, too. Mine is like that (which I HATE)

    yup, mine too, you have to hold it down the entire time you're in reverse.
