Nancy,
I just gave your husband the extra hinges. I'm crossing my fingers that one combo works.
"fix that 28 with blunt force" Let us call that gentle persuasion. I was actually just opening up the thread embrasure.
It was so tight that the thread popped through it, therefore giving the thread a momentary super high tension and causing the upper thread to bunch up on the bottom (AKA thread barf). I hope that was clearer that mud.
