HELLO QUILTYBARB,

I POSTED THE ORIGINAL QUERY. THIS MACHINE WAS MY LATE WIFES GRANDMOTHERS. I DID LOAD THE BOBBIN COUNTERCLOCKWISE AND FOUND THAT IT SEWED JUST FINE. EITHER WAY...CLOCKWISE OR COUNTERCLOCKWISE SEEMS TO WORK. I DON'T SEW BUT HAVE INHERITED A NUMBER OF MY WIFES MACHINES. A BERNINA QUILTERS VIRTUOSA 150, A JUKI TL-98E, AND A VIKING 6370.

MAYBE YOU CAN ANSWER AN UNRELATED QUESTION FOR ME. IN MY WIFES SEWING ROOM, WHICH ALSO DOUBLES AS MY COMPUTER ROOM. MY WIFE USED TO HAVE A PIECE OF MATERIAL THAT WAS USED IF ONE WERE STEAM IRONING AND WAS FEARFUL OF LEAVING A MARK FROM THE IRON ON WHATEVER IT WAS THAT WAS BEING IRONED. IT WAS A PIECE OF HEAVY CLOTH-LIKE MATERIAL THAT SAID...'THIS END UP' ON ONE SIDE. I USED TO LAY THE MATERIAL ON TOP OF WHATEVER I WAS IRONING AND NO MATTER HOW HOT I GOT THE STEAM IRON, IT WOULD NEVER DAMAGE THE ITEM I WAS IRONING. I, FOR THE LIFE OF ME CAN'T FIND, NOR DO I KNOW THE NAME OF THAT MATERIAL. CAN YOU ADVISE?

Sorry Stephen, I don't know what it is....however, I'm sure one of the other ladies on the forum will know.
