http://rochester.craigslist.org/atq/2631604415.html I believe last spring it was listed (looking at the address) for a lot higher by itself, now they are trying to move it with a garage sale. If it was this price back then, it would be sitting in my house right now! |

If it was this price back then, it would be sitting in my house right now! I wrote the lady - she said she had it on and off CL (I was right!) She refinished the cabinet herself. She said if it doesn't sell she is going to see if she can donate it to a museum - if one will take it. I'd hate to see it end up here: http://rochester.craigslist.org/atq/2625524992.html |

He broke a needle (at THREE bucks a needle, he was NOT Mr. Popular at that moment) he stepped away and I went back at it...he came back to help and together, we figured out that the race was extended out as far as it would go, causing the top thread to catch and hang up between the race and the shuttle causing it to miss the loop. Backed the race up just a hair and we all of the sudden had a stitchin' machine! Not one skipped stitch, tension perfect! :)
I'm a pretty happy camper right now! :) Nancy |

Thanks to the gremlins that attack at the worst time, I cannot find the set screws to hold the machine head in the cabinet. Any ideas on where to look for replacements? |

It will probably be after the first of they year before I can set her up and get her going.
