see the bar with all the pictures on top,
click the one with the tree,
new box comes up, click on from computer,
click browse, find image and click on image and click on open,
click on upload image.
The rewarding part of this site is that photos can be seen with messages instead of having to go into another file.

I will be trying those. You are right, the space is almost nonexsistant for a tool. I will look around and see what other tools I have that might be adapted to fit. I still think they used a torque wrench (new word for me that my brother taught me ) to put those screws in and tighten. BTW did you steal the ground screw driver or just inherit it?

It needed light repair, the tension assembly had to be broken down and fixed and the bobbin case was broken. Luckily, I have another class 15 bobbin case I could use. It makes a nice straight stitch now and is fast little machine.

The nose, bobbin and throat plate seems to be the same as a Japanese 15 clone - it is smaller than 3/4 size. I need to take it to the shop and clean it up. I've been full speed working or dealing with some very serious family issues of late. Keep us in your prayers, it ain't over until the fat lady sings.
