We used it for years and years and years and as things do it got tattered and worn and started to come apart in places. . So, now that I'm officially learning to sew, I want to repair it. How best to start? Machine stitch the repairs? Pull the backing off and repair the front, then replace the backing and re-quilt it. That is "if" it was quilted originally. I can't remember. I haven't seen it in years. When my wife gets home I think I'll ask her where it's at and dig it out and see. Oh, we'll be married 29 years this Feb 26th. Where in the world does time go? Joe |

There is a little flange of metal on the machine that fits in a slot cast in the faceplate. It simply will not seat. I'm ready to leave it crooked because I need some of its stitches. Any ideas? I also can't find the new belt I purchased, but you can't help me with that. I had the motor rewired and the other wiring looks good, so I'm ready to try it.

Mirium,
Thanks for the congrats. I made up my mind many years ago I was only going to be married once. And I figured it should last a long time. No kids for us. Wife has three by her first marriage. Glen, Where do I find Jan the Quilt Doctor? Jeo |
