Joe,

I sent you a PM. As you suggested, let's take this off the forum.

The other screw you told me to adjust looks like it would lock the short hand wheel end to the cam. But if I change that it doesn't move the feed dogs just the other vertical shaft that drives the oscillating hook.

Also when I ran the needle down into the needle plate as you instructed, just as the bottom of the eye entered the plate the feed dogs were just a hair over the top of the plate and only at the rear of the dogs. So I'm not sure that what little movement of the cam it would take to move the dogs would clear the stitch adjuster part.

Sent you a PM earlier. Will now await your reply.

Sigh, such a pretty machine to be so out of sorts. Perhaps an attitude adjustment is in order . Bwahahahahaha .....
