Default 99 thread break problem easily solved

[ATTACH=CONFIG]595854[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]595855[/ATTACH]

GF and I were demonstrating Handcrank 99s. All three were having trouble with thread breakage. This was a new problem. She figured out the problem. The wind was blowing take up thread around the tensioner and then the machine would snap it. We solved the problem by turning the machines. A good time was had by all. Symphony in the Flint Hills was later in the day and we had a lot of their visitors. Folks from several states and may ages tried out toys. They made little treasure pouches.

Iris made or modified our garb. Newest machine she used was from the 70s.
