Thanks for that info, Sharon. I'll check that tonite when I get home...I very well may have it in wrong! I know I have it threaded correctly...left to right. I'll let you know!!
Guess what, Sharon, you were right. I switched the needle around, and Harriet sews!!! YOOHOO!! I am sooooo happy!! Here's the pics of her stitch. This is a 102 year old machine in a 120 year old cabinet. It's all very cool!!! Color me EXCITED!!! :-)[/quote]

I'm so glad that Harriet is happily sewing now!! I see that she is a Lotus, lovely decals too! I don't know how old the coffin top treadle is that Ruth the 1910 Red eye lives in is. Its got a Singer top and Elgin irons.(aka franken treadle)
