brother compal galaxie 870 repeats message to raise blue lever,?

why does my brother compal galaxie 870 ask me to raise the blue lever when it is already raised?
when try to do a buttonhole thinking it could be stuck in a stitch pattern, the material does not feed and the upper thread ends up wound around the shuttle. The machine has only been used a couple of times since 1997

My Machine did the same. It turned out to be a small piece of black plastic that sits near the electrical impulse command. A sewing machine chap fixed it for me. The original piece had broken off and I found it later sitting under the machine. Just as well I don't dust too often! Another machine the same happened to come in the same week and he was able to make a replacement piece prior to me finding the original. Before I found him I had taken it to everywhere and was told that it was unfixable.Hope this helps.
