I have it threaded correctly. Thanks Gerbie and others who clarified for me. I have had an offer for feet and I did PM the person so I might be able to get the feet for a good price. I am just waiting to hear back. My niece has already put in dibs if I get rid of it which she knows is not happening. She was with me when I bought it. It sure sews wonderful and I am so excited about getting this great price. Thanks to all of you who confirmed it was a good machine. My niece told me I had to find her one for a great price now...don't think I could ever find another one for $25...but I would have said my chances were a million to one also so you never know. I love this board.
