Vibrating shuttle, White VS lll
#11
I does sound like you are adjusting the foot pressure - very interesting that they refer to is a the vibrator - the reason you would do it at different needle positions is that would change the height of the feet. Tightening it when the feet are all the way up would result in the least pressure, and with the needle all the way down, the most pressure.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]540204[/ATTACH]Took her for a "spin". On this VS sm, the "vibrator" refers to the up & down vibration of the presser foot as it lifts slightly during each stitch cycle. In my case, I had the needle just entering the fabric and the vibrator thumbscrew at the bottom of its slot when tightened. An artist I am not, but I can spin tight circles and curves.

Thanks, johnm, SteveH, and steihy for this information! The thread clarifies several questions I've had about my White VS machine and opens a whole new area of experimentation. Page 26 of my manual shows attachments for "etching"--clearly White's term for free motion embroidery. The attachments described include an "etching plate," which covers the feed dogs, and an etching foot. Instructions specify adjustment of the vibrator screw on the face plate. Alas, the attachments are not to be had within my budget, but there are many work-arounds. Looking forward to free motion quilting on my VS, such a joy to treadle.
