I finally gave up and went into the office to use my Two Spools, who always sews straight! I re-did the original two seams and finished the project on the Two Spools! I love that treadle! Because the feed dogs are the same length it NEVER pulls my fabric sideways! The original foot is a perfect 1/4" too, so I don't have to try and keep the fabric on the black edge of one of those 1/4 feet! Geeze, my DH says it is pretty bad when I can't sew a straight seam on an electric machine - I have to go to the treadle! It is so relaxing to sew without having to tug and fight with the fabric to try and keep a straight line going! I might have tried to sew the grid lines on my 319w treadle, but I can't get to the machines in my sewing room right now - too many Christmas packages in there! Now, if only I could figure out a way to move the Two Spools around the house so it would be more convenient to use!
