Here she is!! From what I can find out, her birthday is June 4th, 1946. :D Her name is Lina.
I need to take her apart and give her a good cleaning...she sews a *straight* stitch and purrs like a kitten, but the tension is off and no amount of playing with the top tension has helped at all. I'm fairly certain I threaded it properly, and I'm not going near the bobbin tension until I give her a very thorough cleaning. Aside from that, I'm thrilled! Just waiting until bedtime for the kids so I can get started on the cleaning without interruptions.

The bobbin looks to be correct and I definitely inserted it properly.
There looks to be a fair amount of dust and fuzz on the inside, so I'm going to spend some time really cleaning her and take it from there.
