I dug out my other machine and it has your set-up, couldn't figure it out. I'm thinking it comes off from inside the machine where the two shafts couple at the gear, but that's just a guess.

Jon, I am so glad to hear that. I was beginning to feel just plain dumb ! I'm not getting into all that, but you really made me feel better since you told me they are made different.

Thanks again,

Texas Jan

I hope the machines found good homes and the cabinets were beyond repair, otherwise, this is a real shame.

Does anyone know where I can get a new belt for my Necchi BU Supernova? I tried the local sm shop, but got the wrong one, it was too wide. Mine needs a belt that is a little less than 3/16" wide. TIA

Can you cut the wide belt down?

I have found if I ask, sew-classic can get stuff.

Thought everyone would find this interesting. Looks like the clear case was made for display.

Edit: It's for sale but no price listed.

Simply Gorgeous!!!

Can you treadle your Necchi? (I might have asked this before)

Thank you all for your continued help with the stitch guide.

Alas, it is not meant to be used with the walking foot and I will not quilt through the layers without the walking foot. I did get it on when I took the walking foot off. If I wasn't so worried about puckers I'd do it, but not when I haven't worked with the machine enough yet.

FMQ not an option as I don't have the darning plate or FMQ foot.

I got out my chalk and most of the projects will be too light to use them and I only have white and yellow. If I can find the tape, I'll tape them, if not, I'll have to use disappearing ink. I've already tested in on a scrap of the same fabric to see if it comes out or not.

Thanks again for all your help.

I have marked lines with just a pencil and washed it out ok.

Yeah, this isn't coo; unless the machines were long gone to begin with. SAD.:(
