Wow, Billy, that was interesting. Such a shame the US doesn't appreciate our history by preserving such beautiful old buildings.

Thanks Billy for the info. I love history now that I am not in high school and being tested on it. I can even remember lots of it, if it interests me. LOL
A bit of trivia... it has only taken us 16 days to jump to 155 pages! Not bad for a new shop... coffee, tea n' all!

I really had know idea that this would take off and run like this when I started this thread! I wish we should have our own section that way we can search the topics and find the information better. We do have some really good information here!!

Maybe you should ask Admin about our own section. I don't contribute much, but read it religiously!

However, Billy, you do realize that we are moving at a faster clip in the past 2 weeks.
What does it take for us to have our own section?

Billy or whomever, I've got a quick question. Wasn't sure if I should ask here or in the disassembly/cleaning section. I've been tinkering around with my new (to Me) FW and so far she seems to be humming along just fine. There's a bit of a knock, but I guess that will work itself out as I clean it and lube it. My question is regarding the tension. I've tried it in several different positions and from the back everything looks fine, but from the front it doesn't look like stitches. It just looks like a piece of string. No distinction in the stitches. Due to bad eyesight I have a CCTV. I put the fabric on it and checked it out and there is no distinguishable difference between a setting of 1 1/2 and 7 on the upper thread tension. Do I need to take it apart and clean/adjust it? Thanks. Again, I will post pics soon.
