[quote=Shemjo]Kathie, if I knew more, I could help you more, but that is all I know how to do. I think you are using a Nikon camera to take your pictures. When you download them to the computer, what program are you using? I think Nancy or soeone else could help better.
Yes, it is a Nikon camers. The program that I used is the one that came with the camera. Yes, you are right I am sure that Nancy could help me, but, I have asked so much of Nancy and I am afraid that when I go to class she will say oh no not you again. I have been such a pest, but than she is so good and knowledgeable. lol Kathie

If you download to a place on your desktop..make a file and download into that.. then you can choose what picture you want. Put a name to the picture and then click Reply and after you have written what you want. then click Browse and you go to that file that has the name of the picture you want in it. Hope that is a clear enough to understand.

In a follow up to Janet's original question. Billy, I assume that when we use a penetrant oil/kero in the oil holes... we should run it out on the machine? (by run it out, I mean literally run the machine until the oil works through and out of the system... so to speak). Right? Then/after put sewing machine oil in the holes and run that into the machine?
I just brush and wipe everything clean of the penetrant, then apply oil. The penetrant is an oil base too, so it's not incompatible, but you want to clean off the gunk the penetrant loosened up. That's the nasty part of the whole deal. Once you clean it up as best as you can, you then apply oil and run your machine.

Nope you are right just use it and a little Kerosene in the oil holes to penetrate the rust and then you use sewing machine oil after that. Billy
