It was just out of adjustment. I needed to just loosen the set screw and rotate it forward just a frog hair and it works really well now. Thank you for your help Nancy.

looks like a really old Elna. I've not seen this before.

Miriam,
That is an Elna #1, AKA 'The Grasshopper'. Neat little straight stitch machine.

Love the photos of the glass feet!

Hey all you grandmother's, wouldn't that quilt behind the mid arm table be a great project! We could get some fabric paint, paint each grandchild's foot, and make a quilt block with each grandchild's footprint! I think that is a cool idea! http://sacramento.craigslist.org/art/3322702466.html Hummmmm on second thought, though, it might be really messy - but, what fun the kids would have!

Ok this is a puzzle. Grant PM'd me about this Pfaff 230 and it has both of us puzzled! http://chicago.craigslist.org/nwc/atq/3370410650.html
That black 230 is nothing like my 230. It is missing the top control for the embroidery stitches, the spool pin is in a different location on that machine, knob B, which is above the needle positioning is missing? Did Pfaff have different versions of a particular model? This is really weird to me! I would love to see that black 230 in person.
Anyone know what the heck that 230 is and why my 230 is so different?
