SunflowerZZ,
You are so right when you said: "Bottom line is the Touch and Sew has just too many fidgits to fuss with to make her operate for me."
I agree completely.
We have a T&S 778 and it's OK but for one thing. It ejects some of the white cams. Just pops them right off the cam holder. Other than that it sews just fine.
