Oh no!! I'm a good tension nut so I'll definitely spend some time making sure all is looking well - thanks for the tip about the blending thread! Where in Ohio are ya??

Good Luck, you will love your machine.
Oh I'm so glad to hear this. I'm really happy with the lady I'm buying this from, she's really kept it updated as much as one could without adding stitch regulation. I was really nervous about that too but after trying out a few stitch regulated machines I think I'm actually going to prefer manual mode over SR. I am so thrilled, thank you for your comments and input, I seriously cannot sleep now!! Just a few more days!
