    It is notched specifically for the crank.

    Nice-looking machine.

    CD in Oklahoma
    Probably not me posting about it. But, I've made a Naugahyde ATV seat using a 127 HC. I like the control of the HC for this type work.

    Thanks, Tammi. Now if I can remember that. I suppose the same is for the iPhone?

    Pretty much all iOS as far as I know, so yes.

    I am living at my Mom's house for a while. She thinks it is just until she is re-habbed. Anyway I've been fiddling with a stuck up Elna. I didn't know they sold pink ones that just do zz ss hem and and S kind of stitch. The thing is mainly unstuck except for the needle center control - I know I can't use any heat. I've cleaned off old dried oil but other than that I'm out of ideas how to get a stuck plastic thing to move. Right now my camera cord is AWOL. Maybe later.

    I guess a sledge hammer is also out of the question?
    Re Tulips - both the flowers and the tablecloth have red in them.. it's good.

    No sledge hammer I like that machine except for the stuck knob.
