Default questions on using a dsm with a hinty frame.

i finally got the hinty set up. actually, the dh did <g>. anyway...i have some questions...

the hand control--is there a way of really adjusting it? can't get it adjusted to "hammer down" on teh pedal, so the machine stitches very slowly. So, i'm using the foot pedal on the floor. does anyone have ingenious methods?


I am using my viking 350. (and thinking about chasing down a singer 201). i am having major tension issues. i attribute at least some of that to getting my speed and the sewing machine speed regulated to each other. but, what do i do? i seem to have loose tension on top and loops of the upper thread on the backing. Any help is appreciated!

also we pinned the backing, then the batting and the top. i've seen people on you tube just "float" the batting and the top...opinions?

thank you so much!
