You have seen me drive haven't you?

I have and have even been in the car when Miriam was driving. I kept my eyes closed the whole time. Red is a good choice and the color of her little car.

He was praying.
He never saw much of Indianapolis when I drove.

Skip,
Praying is good and it worked as you are still with us. VBG

Miriam,

No, I haven't seen you drive.
I had a customized Corvette years ago that was painted a real Ferrari Red (the paint came from Ferrari). And red is my favorite color.

Since I haven't put any scratches on my little red Honda Fit, I'm thinking some of Skip's paranoia was the size of my car plus we bought so much stuff there was almost nowhere for him to sit back there.

BTW Skip, I sold that pink machine we were fighting over. :)

Ok, I went to a Sewing Social last night planning to do some thread play free motion work on a Christmas wall hanging. I got all my stuff out, threaded my Pfaff 360 - which is the best FM machine out there in my opinion! I started to sew . . . . and had a thread mess. I had to rip out what I had sewn. Tried again after checking the thread path - again a thread mess! I took out the bobbin case. The bobbin case was missing the tiny screw that sets the tension! Somehow that screw had fallen out since I used that machine last month at the same social doing FM work! What a weird thing to happen! I have never had the screw just disappear from a bobbin case! I fixed it this morning robbing the screw off a BC that doesn't go to any of my machines . . . it came with some attachments I bought on e-bay. I guess from now on, I will take a back up machine!

I said the small post sticking out from the right side of the bobbin winder was for a grinding wheel. Can you post a picture of 'that funny looking thing on top' of your machine. I'm not sure what we're talking about here.

Cathy

Here you go Cathy! Charlee you sure have a good memory!!!!! I had forgotten all about the dohickey on top probably there for a light of some sort. I keep that Pfaff's hat on (coffin top) all the time. I don't use her . . . I only open her up to show her off occassionally. [ATTACH=CONFIG]379596[/ATTACH]

Is there a screw or some kind of fastener on the underside of the neck or near the needle bar that holds the face on? If so, try loosening them to see if they do anything. ~G~ p.s. LOOK! there is a pink controller in that pic! :D

Oh Grant, I am sorry I didn't acknowledge your help too! Besides Joe and Miriam, you also had the right plan! It is great, the more we all get into these antique/vintage machines, the more we all learn about their differences/idiosyncrasies (spelling?)! It is so much fun to get something different so everyone can learn!

Miriam that 15-30 would be a great condidate for a do-over red paint job!

Cathy, I had never heard of the Happy Sewing Machine company until now! You are such an asset to this group!
