Wow and WOW, Charlee! Geeze, that Davis makes me drool! You guys have done a fantastic job!

Thanks! :) Now if I can just make it sew!! :lol: The manual says to set the needle in a "triffle" above the "holder-thingie-ma-bob" (like my techie talk? :lol: ) What the heck is a "triffle" other than a cake layered with fruit, whipped cream and pudding? ;)
Actually, I need to finish cleaning the machine, before I play too much with stitching, but I couldn't help myself, and last nite managed to get a few tiny stitches out of her before the thread broke!
If you are talking about the timing. The thing of a ma bob would be the shuttle.

I'm thinking you need info on timing. But instead of adjusting the post you need to adjust the needle.
Oh yeah...I played with the needle until I got it to make the few stitches that it did...the manual is interesting, to say the least! The "thingie-ma-bob" is the nut that holds the needle...when I get home tonight I'll copy what it says...
Getting the needle in time is really pretty easy. Put the shuttle right at the needle. Then put the needle down where the eye is just sort of above the hook. Then tighten the screw. If the thread doesn't go, try again but move the needle down or up a scooch. The pics on that site might be of help.
That manual is really good. I just fixed a tension on the Spartan using those instructions. I am wondering if that tension was ever installed correctly. The dumb thing would work a little but not so very good. It is virtually a new machine - some paint gouges from the foot control floating around on the surface but no wear and tear. I wish I could fix those gouges.
