Glenn, about the skipping stitches I found that the thread length regulator has a lot to do with how well the machine sews. Nancy probably knows more about that than I do. Has her machine sewing good now because she made changes on her stitch regulator.

Thanks I will try adjusting the stitch regulator. Thanks you guys are great! Glenn
Glenn, I fought with my Davis for two months, was ready to give up and give her away when I started playing the the Stitch Regulator knob. I played and stitched and played and stitched until Betty now sews like a dream! I had my mind stuck on my problem being the shuttle I have, and it was the stitch regulator all along!

I have started to play with the stitch regulator and it is having some positive effects with the stitches but still not even. I will keep adjusting everything until I get a good stitch. At least we are skipping every now and then instead of every other stitch. I really would like to get this machine to sew!! I did notice that the stitch length did not change much regardless where the regulator was placed. Glenn
