Singer SS diagnostic question for you.

yes, that's what I have to do Joe. But when I'm piecing I use a cone of thread on a holder behind my FW.

When I'm piecing I just sew fairly slow. Even on this FW the cross wound C&C machine quilting thread works fine at slow speeds.
Now that I am just about finished re-timing it, we'll see how it works at it's max speed.

OH, yeah, speaking of the cone thread holders, the local JoAnn Fabrics has them with a cast iron base now. MUCH, MUCH better than the plastic bottomed ones.

I just haven't gotten to that yet as I plan to sand and stain the mounting boards and put a felt bottom on them.

I'm guessing that you've already sent the machine back, but for future knowledge.

Tammi,
When I got the needle bar cleaned, and put a magnifying hood on so I could see things, I found the timing marks were as the service manual said they were supposed to be. So I was off on that part.
I've also done some other adjusting that has helped the tensions so I'm pretty sure we're good to go on this little FW.
Nope, still here. The owner will be up in this area soon and will pick it up then.
