I will be doing straight line quilting, using my Davis NVF for that.

I just did something I didn't think I could do. I fixed a Singer Merritt today. I picked it up for some parts - low and behold it needed a GOOD cleaning. There was a bobbin loose under it and it's thread got caught in the belt - locked up the machine something terrible. The lady took it to a repair shop and they told her it wasn't worth fixing. I got that all out, cleaned it up and away she sews. I like the nice wide zig zag that one has. WOW.

Billy, Lostn51, who started this thread probably has your thread quide or thread pin which ever you are missing. Cathy on this board probably has the part too.

I have to ask. Which machine to you prefer, the 401 or 501 Rocketeer?
