Inconsistent Automatic Buttonhole Completion?My Singer Heavy Duty 4452 sewing machine is completing a seemingly random amount of each buttonhole I try to sew. Sometimes it does the full thing, sometimes only half, part of one side, all but the end, etc. When it stops making progress, it just keeps going back and fourth in place. The "push" lever is down and I push it back every time. Is there something I need to do for this specific problem, or is it something that more general solutions will fix? Thank you.

 

An example of the sewing machine's malfunction.

Sewing Machine Sews Incorrectly, Then Stops?I've been using a Singer Heavy Duty 4452 sewing machine and it suddenly stopped sewing properly. It skips several stitches on the top of the fabric and the thread on the bottom is messy and bunched up, then it stops and the needle won't move until I take the fabric out. It does this on both thick and thin fabrics. I'm not sure what the issue is or how to fix it.

My Mower Quits After 10 Minutes?My lawn tractor will only run for 10 minutes, then stops. It will restart but not run. When the temperature outside dropped to 53, the mower ran for 30 minutes then stopped. Again I could restart but it wouldn't run. Apparently when the engine heats up, it will shut down. I let the mower sit for a half hour then it will run again and then given the outdoor temperature, run for 10 or 30 minutes. Clean gas and filter and plug and fresh oil. I thought it was a fuel issue until the temperature dropped.
