Thanks for the tip, Elizabeth. And on the puckering problem, I was thinking that perhaps if cotton thread would be used instead of a poly-blend it may make a difference. What thread is being used when the puckering occurs? Remember were we discussing on another thread how the quality of thread makes a difference on some machines. Maybe this would be a time to try one of the "better" brands of thread. That little featherweight baby of yours may want better quality thread. :lol: Good luck.
