I got the last tight screw undone - the bobbin tension was stuck - I gave it some oil and time out, came back and it turned! The bobbin area was really dirty so it figures the tension was, too. I'm real glad I took it apart and cleaned it. Then I got the upper tension reset and away she sews. WOW She sews freely and doesn't look so terrible. I like the harp space on that machine. It has a very nice even long stitch length. It takes regular short shank attachments. I'm thinking I will put a hand crank on it. The girls will be over during spring break and they will love this one. It can always go on a treadle or get new wires. It can make a trip to Glenn's and get the finish smoother. But for now she sews.
