Very nice cabinet and machine that already comes with a name, Amerikan-or Erika for short. The decals are sweet!

Ok, I wish I were closer! My Two Spools is the best piecing machine I have! It has a perfect 1/4" foot - the original foot - and, it sews a really straight seam since both of the feeds dogs are the same length! Also, since it is a Two Spools it goes a very long time before I have to re-wind the bobbin thread spool! The Two Spools, the 15-88 treadle for free motion, and the 319w (in treadle) are my go to treadles now! Of course, I am fickle, because I love all my machines! But, seriously that Two Spools is the greatest piecing machine!

At this coming March TOGA in Turlock, I'm going to bring my Singer 328k in treadle, and Bernie is planning to bring his Singer 412G in treadle. You should bring your Singer 319w in treadle. It would be interesting to see how differently they all treadle. I'm sure if I treadled your 319, I would then be on the hunt for one afterwards.

Randa, your Amerikan is made by New Home! I knew the minute I looked at it, but according to ISMACS it is made by New Home and takes a 20x1 needle! Congratulations!
Someone on here posted some great shots of the threading path for the New Home. I think it was Monica, so can you re-post those photos for Randa?

Miriam, When loading picture on the QB, you need to select the "from computer or URL". Did you make sure that you did that and also when loading multiple pictures you need to reset that selection each time. If your size is to large, then QB file will not load image and you will have to resize yours, found somewhere in your computer tools or help.

If that doesn't work, I can't help ya. My son is the computer nerd that comes to my rescue when I can't get things to work. He has never read a computer manual. I don't now how he does it. And, I don't remember a computer manual coming with him on the day I gave birth to him.
