VallyeyQuilterMo, I hear your sorrow. I am sorry about the losss of your 30 year old horse!
Sammy was a once in a lifetime horse - I was very luck to have him. Now, my other horses have big shoes to fill, especially the one who is to be Sammy's replacement. I had Sammy in my life longer than any man, although, my DH comes in a close second at 25 years! Thank you all for your concern and well wishes.
Miriam what a neat name - your little guy has a lot to live up to with a name like that!
Ok Ya'll I got it! My 'Candace' is sewing a perfect stitch! I am making a little Christmas wall hanging and she is sewing perrrrrrfectly! Ya know what the problem was? I hate to admit it - but, the belt was toooooooooo tight! The treadle belt was slipping ever so slightly, and since I am not use to the sound this machine makes, I didn't notice the slipping! Geeze! Not a needle problem, - and Candace I agree with you I am sticking to the 206X13's that this machine likes - not a treadling problem, not an adjustment problem, a simple belt problem! You guys know the coolest thing about this machine - besides the fact that I am treadling a machine that does decorative stitches - the NEEDLE position is adjustable! The needle can be moved left, right, middle, and in between! That means I can set it up to get a perfect 1/4" seam! I love it!
