Ontheriver/Jeanann,
When I've been using the White Rotary treadle and then switch to another treadle, then the trouble starts. The White Rotary's hand wheel turns away from me and the needle threads differently. The Singer 201k & Pfaff 60 treadle aren't happy when I try to turn the hand wheel the wrong direction. I can almost hear them saying, that's not how it works.

Boy, can I relate! The good news is that you won't make that mistake again.

I am so sorry that you felt you were the "stupid one" . The learning curve on nearly everything to do with quilting is huge! We just conquer one hill and another one presents its ugly head! I congratulate you on finding a way to remember how to thread the needle. I took a Sharpie to my new long arm to remember to lower the presser foot, most of my machines do that automatically, but not my long arm! So now I have a note to myself to lower it so I do not feel so darn stupid when I forget Happy sewing!

Please don't feel stupid! It just makes the rest of us who have done the same thing feel more normal! I almost took my serger in for service until I realized I kept forgetting to lower the presser foot...sergers don't like that.

We have all done things like this.
