Oh, DeAnn! I hate to hear when things we love stop working. I’d say don’t give up just yet on sewing overall. Perhaps you can find another sewing machine with an option to add a sensitive to touch switch to it (Would this be a start: https://www.thesewingdirectory.co.uk/sewing-without-a-foot-pedal/)? Do you have a friend who’s handy with mechanics? Maybe they could install one for you to a used sewing machine…

 

I’d hate to see you miss out on an activity that brought you joy. Another idea would be to design sewing patterns on your computer for your mom (or whomever would be doing the sewing) for things that you would have liked to sew yourself. These are just ideas so whatever you decide I support ya!

 

All the best,
