Miriam, I've broken takeup levers trying to bend them back into shape, necessitating replacements. Is the rubbing on the body/ casting or on the faceplate? If on the body then I guess I'm saying I don't have an answer for you. If the rubbing is on the faceplate that would be easy to bend out the faceplate slightly. Cathy The 99 barely rubs on the face plate in the down stroke - I loosened up the screw and figured a washer would keep it back enough to do the job for that one - the bottom face plate screw is missing. I think I have one somewhere or will pull it off the Spartan for now. The 99 too is a barely used machine. Some how I doubt if swapping the take up levers would fix both machines... I just don't want to even think about that for more than a nanosecond. |

Sending some pics of my newest acquisition! Merry Christmas to me! Can't wait to get her belted and see if she sews. I'll need some direction as to threading her, since she has no paper work.
Someone on here posted some great shots of the threading path for the New Home. I think it was Monica, so can you re-post those photos for Randa? Nancy |

Ah, Miz Johnny, my thread never tangles, but on a 301 the bobbin runs out often when FMQ. Happy New Year to y'all.
AnnieRose's (301) latest - 1000 yards of thread and not one bird's nest or stitching issue. She may not be a pretty treadle, but she knows how to sew. BTW, the blue and gold were high school colors. I didn't just pull fabric from my stash. My son was pleased. Nancy I found out - your son's daughter! Beautiful girl! Another question, you have your 301 in treadle? |

A badged machine; more than likely exactly the same as the machines badged "Precision". I have yet to have one of those machines that didn't sew well.
Nancy Do any of you have the same problem I do with photos? I sometimes get the whole picture, other times I get 1/2 or 3/4 of the photo come through? I wonder if it is just my computer? Nancy |
My computer hides pictures or eats them or something - at any rate it doesn't talk to the QB at this time. I have a FW cleaning tutorial just waiting.... We cleaned up Mom's for Christmas.
