Please post your photo files here.  Using 3rd party hosts often results in the the photos disappearing and rendering the post useless in the future.

You may need to resize the photos to fit the restrictions here.  800 pixels in the longest dimension is quite adequate and results in files smal enough that several may be posted in a singe post.

Some helps and suggestions in this thread.  Lots of Apps, software, online converters, etc. on the web too.  Please post as jpegs.

This is what the machine is like now. Presser foot stuck up. Can’t get it down release button is no help either. Walking foot wasn’t walking before and somehow got my presser foot stuck up. Don’t want to touch anything else and make things worse.

Loosen this screw & push the foot down where it needs to be so it pushes the outside one up.

Yep  Walk on the feet height is out of sync.

Suggestions on getting it loose without stripping the screw? She’s pretty stuck. Oiled it good too.

Use a large screwdriver that fits in there tightly & you could put a wrench on it while pushing down on the screwdriver will work.

@Lgbrs9

You can buy a large blade, wide handle screwdriver from your local hardware store. I have one with a blade that's almost 1/2 inch wide, and a rubber covered handle that's almost 2 inches in diameter. That screwdriver will loosen bolts like the one you need to deal with.

Got the screw loose, presser foot isn’t budging yet. Is there any other screws I’d have to get to to get it to drop?

It's possible the inside foot bar is stuck & needs some oil.You should be able to push on the linkage @ the end of the pen & push the inside pressure bar down.Look how far down this one is compared to yours.
