There are a couple nice ones on CL in Indianapolis, too. I've seen that long bed. Real nice machine - kind of under priced.

My son lives on the east side of Atlanta GA. He's been a wonderful child - he is now holding three machines for me.
Including a 301 in a case off craigslist for $50.
I also have two in MO to pick up when I go visit this fall. I have to be careful or I'll have more than will fit in the car.
I love having enablers! The local market is pretty dry ( I think that guy in Davis SD got them all LOL!!) so I'd miss out on a lot without my enablers.

I've checked that I have it threaded right, the needle is the right one and it is in the right way plus threaded from right to left. Sometimes it will sew for just a few stitches before it hangs up and then sometimes it will go for a couple of feet or more. Maybe this is the reason the guy sold it to me for $20.00!!
Am posting a picture of the bobbin with yarn (so maybe you can see it) laying on it and wrapped around the finger that sticks out. This is what it looks like after it locks up. If anyone can give me an idea of what to try next I would appreciate it. Thanks! I've also messed with the upper tension which seems to make no difference.

Charlee, enjoy that grandbaby. My kids are in no hurry to make me a grandma....I will be the oldest mamaw on the planet is what I usually tell them when it comes up. Love the stories about addictions, cures, learning to sew, and such. Growing up, I had a knack for construction, and enjoyed helping my daddy work on building things, or work on cars, or whatever, and my mama taught me to sew, which is constuction with cloth. My sister, who is only 13 months older than me, had no desire to do any of the above. I still get out here and help my dh with whatever he is working on, and he sometimes will look over sewing machines for me. My girls have brought home guys in the past who had never seen a sewing machine work up close and wanted to see how they work.
