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]



Its amazing sometimes how the tiniest of things can make such and issue. I have a Juki TL98Q on a frame and I quilted a quilt and was working on another one and was having a terrible time with the tension not being "just right". Was so frustrated because I had done several others just fine a couple of months ago. did everything I could think of to fix the issue to no avail. The other day like a freaking light bulb going off I decided to try flipping the direction of the bobbin :shock: :oops:

Needless to say all is well in my quilting world now :mrgreen:
