[QUOTE=BoJangles;4666005]Thanks Nancy...mine is the one that the Spousal Unit and I refinished...I posted about it on my blog... 
I still *really* need to sit down with the machine and work with it...was showing it to someone the other day and the top thread broke again, after about 15 inches...may not have been threaded right, but not being SURE, I want to play. Now to find time....

I bought a hopping foot by accident (it is the all metal one and was in the attachments with a pfaff machine I got for $10) and tried it out finally. I had always just machine quilted with light pressure and still had pucker issues, and mostly SID because of it. Well, that hopping foot is amazing. My husband got tired of me saying, look at this!! when I was first using it and learned to FMQ. I keep threatening to read how I am supposed to FMQ but what I am doing works, so I just keep on going. I guess I cheated on that, because I enlarged some of the pics on the quilts page and just semi-copied them. The last two baby quilts I did, I was so proud-not one broken thread or tangle, just one continuous line of stitching.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]286232[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]286232[/ATTACH]YoHOOOOOO! Here is my Singer 319w in her finished cabinet! "Candace" is so happy here in my sewing room! I haven't got the flip top completely done, still working on that part, but she is sitting in the cabinet ready to go! So easy to put a 319w in a treadle - she just dropped right in - no adjustments at all! Now I need to find time to play with her - she will be one of my favorite treadles I am sure![ATTACH=CONFIG]286231[/ATTACH]

Sorry the same picture is in here twice. I can't seem to delete just one of the pictures!
