thanks you guys... I have my stitch at 3.0 then I changed it to 3.5 and I think it is just me. I will practice and practice after work.
Debbie - thanks for letting me know about Sew Karzee - you know I have not been in that store yet... I went by it one day with DH and it was closed (Skip was happy). Let me know when you have time for us to get together again. I would be greatful to be able to come over. I also talked to Nita and might go over there this Saturday...
Well gotta get back to work.. thank you all for your tips and encouragements - gosh do I need them when I am starting something new... :)
