Guess what, Sharon, you were right. I switched the needle around, and Harriet sews!!! YOOHOO!! I am sooooo happy!! Here's the pics of her stitch. This is a 102 year old machine in a 120 year old cabinet. It's all very cool!!! Color me EXCITED!!! :-)

I'm so glad that Harriet is happily sewing now!! I see that she is a Lotus, lovely decals too! I don't know how old the coffin top treadle is that Ruth the 1910 Red eye lives in is. Its got a Singer top and Elgin irons.(aka franken treadle)
