Wow! Could almost be twins! LOL
You gave me lots of good information.
I talked to Miss Rose yesterday, and mentioned the metal bobbins, and she says: "OH! I found those! I will put them in the car and get them down to you one of these first days"
so, that was good news <g>
I won't be taking the bobbin area apart ... Hubby tries to tell me that it is missing a bobbin case, and I am trying to explain to him that drop ins do NOT have a bobbin case ...
he LOVES drop in bobbin machines, but has never actually looked at the two or three I have! LOL
Yeah ... the tension area ... am trying to figure out just what each moving part does, but there is really no reason to mess with it until I get the metal bobbin.
Won't happen for a few days (I am sure I have bobbins that will work) ...
I have a few more things to do before I actually take time to spend much time with my new machine - - Miss Rosie <wave>
