Ahhh, so many nice tips! I really like your step by step instructions, nice and simple for a beginner like me. I can only dream of the day I can actually give help. Thank you! I'll definitely be busy tomorrow when I get home from visiting relatives. I think I got the locating finger thing set right, I'll doubt check the width with some thick thread I have, but I was careful when I set it according to how you said last time. The thread now passes through, but the gap is small. When I work on the tension tomorrow, I'll double check it though. I will let you know how it all goes. Now....off to start (and finish) a lap throw rag quilt that I'm giving as a gift tomorrow.
. I better get crackin'.
As for being biased....my husband's name is Mike, so...
