Thats neat.

b.zang 11-12-2010 08:02 AM

Really!
I'm not sure how many times I've now sat and watched that thing go around but after tearing myself away I can now say, NEAT.
I always thought that shuttle piece went back and forth with no idea how it might happen.

Great! Makes it easy to understand how critical timing is.

That is so neat. I agree with others here, you find the best sites on the internet. Where do you find the time?

RkayD 11-12-2010 10:15 AM

now imagine how FAST it does that when you floor it! =D

GwenH 11-12-2010 10:25 AM

That is so cool that you put that here, ditter! I never knew. I'm a very visual mouse, so now I understand perfectly. :-D

shirleymcm 11-12-2010 02:12 PM

Very cool! Thanks for the info.

Thank you for sharing... I have always wondered. So that is why we must keep the bobbin area cleaned and lightly oiled! It makes so much sense now! Off to clean the bobbin area!

Once again Ditter you have left me speachless. It never ceases to amaze me that the depth of your wisdom or humor goes so deep.

Thank you for this posting.

Thanks Ditter for this demo. My husband has always wanted to know and this was great to show him. Now he understands because it's not something I could explain well. We've only been married 5 years and he's told me he has been introduced to a whole new world. He doesn't mind going to the quilt stores with me whenever we travel. He likes to look at all the quilts, and enjoys joking with all the ladies.

Ditter your awesome.. !!! thanks for the lesson..

IBQUILTIN 11-13-2010 12:33 AM

Wish I had that this afternoon when the tension on my machine got so messed up. I would have made the machine watch the video. My DSS is going to see if he can take the cover off of it tomorrow for me. I think there must be a thread or something caught in the tension area. No matter what i have tried, I can't get it to straighten up. And I so want to finish the sofa runner and arm covers. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

krob 11-13-2010 10:48 AM

WOW---thanks for that!! I've often said sewing/embroidering is a spectator sport!!! I love to watch the needle go up and down!!! Now I wish I could get inside to watch it do that!!! Guess I'll just have to watch your moving diagram!!

lnikkers52 11-13-2010 07:03 PM

good to know. now we need to see whats going on when it goobers up :)
