Nancy, my condolences. It's hard to lose any canine or equine family member, but some are just special and are even harder. He sounds like one of the special ones. More cyber hugs to you. {{hugs}}
First all the hub bub of Thanksgiving and company, which was so much fun! Then yesterday one of my horses, who I have owned his entire life - all 29 1/2 years - died. Not a good day for my DH, the kids, the grandkids, (who all rode him), and especially me! That horse did it all, drill team, shows, parades, rodeo grand openings, barrel races, cut cattle, camping, jumped, pulled a cart, won buckles, blankets, horse coolers for me, won one of the largest horse shows in California - the Gold N Grand -, and mostly he was my trusted friend and companion his entire life - from the time he dropped on the ground from his Momma. He safely taught everyone of the kids, grandkids, and some in-laws and friends how to ride.

This weekend's adventure was a sewing one for me. I was doing a lot of zigzagging with newly-cleaned Rizzo (1950s? Universal). She worked great except for one problem: I would intermittently lose tension for the bobbin. In some instances, it looked like the thread would slip out from under the flat spring and travel along the side of the case. I'm not sure if the bobbins aren't snug enough in the case or what. I've tried tightening the spring, loosening it, trying different bobbins, slowing down, speeding up. Nothing seemed to help. I'm wondering if it might have some back and forth movement that is pulling the thread out of the bobbin case spring. Any ideas on what might be going on or how to correct it? She ran so well otherwise!
