Thanks so much for the reply, Spark - but I think I have already covered most those bases (thanks to help other times from all the board members). I have that bobbin case and also use a bobbin washer with it. I tried with the feed dogs up and down. I NEVER use the foot pedal - only tried it to see if it worked when I got the machine about six years ago. I'd be totally lost without the Start/Stop. I must say tho that I probably don't slow down enough on curves and that could be a big problem.
