well, I still feel like the washer is right, the knob turns quite a bit when I disengage the clutch. Yesterday I grabbed the steel wool and cleaned the inside of the hand wheel, still moves. I guess I will repeat the cleaning process one more time and see what goes. Hubby is thinking of taking his dremel or a drill w/a wire brush and lightly cleaning inside the hand wheel also. I will probably let him if my cleaning attempts fail again.

When sewing w/it yesterday my fabric kept catching in the space under the feeddogs. the needle plate has a larger rectangle to the left, then the needle hole and a smaller rectangle to the right...it seemed like the fabric was jsut catching in the back rectangle. Does anyone understand what I am trying to say?

One more thing...when the take up lever is at it's highest point, the needle is not, is that normal?

Thanks for the help,
Jp
