I also have a Tin Lizzie, no problems. Do you use pantograms? Haven't tried them yet, but did just buy a laser light.
When you want to do borders with a different design, do you do you do the top and bottom borders when you are doing the center, take it off the machine and put back on to do the two sides or what do you do? Haven't done it yet, just have been doing meandering. Thanks for any help.
