Hi. Thanks for the suggestion. I may do that, but the advantage of having all the machines be the same (we have three) is that a lot of the ladies are not able to deal with the differences from one machine to the next (thread path, bobbin type, location of controls, changing settings, etc.). So if all the machines are the same, at least that is one obstacle removed. But maybe I should look into getting "backup" machines, or "machines for the ladies who are more experienced [with machines, that is... wink]."
Thanks for replying.
