However, it still didn't seem to zag to the right as far as it ought to. I checked the needle position by piercing a piece of paper to the left, center, and right. The zag does not go as far to the right of center as it does to the left of center. Oh well, LOTS better than before. It is about 1/10th as noisy from when I got it and it moves faster too. Since it did not come with any extra's I made a little padded, drawstring bag to hold the accessories I happened to have from a drawer in a White treadle cabinet. The quilting is done with the cams I have for the machine. I can do a total of 6 different stitches! I plan on hanging this bag on a knob or pin somewhere on the machine so that I have the attachments close at hand when I use my "new" machine.

I'm sorry I think we missed you in the shuffle. You do still have a problem. The needle should go all the way to the right. To get it to do that you will need to look:
http://www.quiltingboard.com/main-f1...s-t160607.html maybe you will see there what you still need. It a little pin or plunger under the square thing - between it and the cam stack - it has some dried up oil in there. A drop or two of solvent should dissolve the dried up oil. Do protect the paint and yourself as mentioned in the above link.
