The bobbin won't wind, so I bought the side winder. Now the latest and most important thing is when you put the pressure foot down it doesn't want to go down. I think I've just worn the old girl out. I have several machines so I'm not in a big hurry to buy. Right now I'm using two FW to piece. Why 2? One is set at a scant 1/4". Don't you hate the word scant? The other one is set at a regular 1/4".
