Second, what is a potted motor and what are eyelashes?

Hi Kitsy, and thanks!
I prefer to see faces vs. other kinds of avatars, so I figure it's only fair to use my own... and my name is easier for me to remember...I'm getting old enough that I figure that's important these days!
Here's a link to a photo on Sew Classic that shows a potted motor:

The little "pot" on the back of the machine near the handwheel contains a gear driven motor.
Eyelashes are the loops that you get on the underside of your stitching when either the tension is off, or you're moving the fabric too fast while free motion quilting, and there can be a few other causes...
