Featherweight not working
#14
besides, I really don't think we need to send people away to fix issues. this is well within our abilities to help with.
Man, I sure don't like QB in Android. It freaks out when I type, and the space bar doesn't work right!

Maybe I'll compose messages in email and copy paste? I'm really trying hard not to keep the computer in the living room or the sewing room all the time. (Trying to pare down the number of them that we have now that I'm stepping out of IT)
I turn off auto correct most of the time, especially after some of the "epic" corrections I've seen posted on the net.
I do like the predictive text that android does. It does get a lot of those right.

Thanks to everyone with suggestions. I think we have figured out what the problem is, but not how to fix it ourselves. The machine will run beautifully if the throat plate is removed. Apparently, the feed dogs are hitting the throat plate. They appear to be too far forward (towards the sewer). We have downloaded the adjusters manuel and it does tell us how to move the feed dogs length-wise, by turning a screw on the bottom of the machine, but this has not seemed to make a difference. What are we doing wrong? Thanks so much for your help. I have looked on the web, but can't find an answer. Gina

This was the hard one for me when I was working on my featherweight. Once you take the throat plate off, you have to make sure that the "finger on the bobbin case" is positioned correctly between the bobbin case position springs under the bottom of the throat plate. The "finger" has to be at the top position otherwise it won't run with the throat plate on; but it will run without it. I, too, thought that I needed to adjust the position of the feed dogs, but all I really needed to do was to get that "finger" in the proper place. Hope this not only makes some sort of sense, but also that it helps.

That's what I was thinking too.
