Duh!!! - Good idea - why didn't I think of that. I'd be on my way to the shop but it is 45 minutes away and sure don't feel like the drive. I've been messing with this continually since 9:30 this morning - GRRRRRRR!

Oh, I would surely appreciate that. I'll wait for that and then if it doesn't work for me I'll call the shop.

Will you also tell me what number you have the tension set at. Thanks so much!

OK 8 mode 1
mode 2 is 08 09
mode 3 is 01 02
thread tension 3 to 7
foot A

look at page 38

now the plus or minus is were u get the size of the stitch

I hope that helps

To do the zigzag you have 3 options according to the book:

Mode 1(default when you first turn machine on) - #08 (or push the 8 on the right front panel)
Mode 2 - #08-09
Mode 3 - #02

Thread Tension: 3-7 - I have mine set at 4

Pressure foot: zigzag

Foot Pressure: 3

If you need more help then PM me.

It looks like there's something wrong with the bobbin/ threading of the bobbin case. When the problem in on the top of what you are sewing, the trouble is on the bottom. When the problem is on the underside of what you are sewing, the trouble is on the top.

my tension is at 3 i never touch it
i hope this works for u if not let me know maybe it's some thing else

I just wrote a long post telling you all that I feel like the biggest boob and again the boob - lost the post for some reason.

You won't believe it but all it was that was that I didn't have the bobbin threaded correctly. I checked that soo many times and still didn't realize what I did wrong.

I want to thank everyone one of you for your efforts to help me and I will keep those settings down for future reference.

It is so nice to know you have such a wealth of help out there just waiting to be of assistance. Now, I'll get back to the machine and work a while on my jacket - LOL.
