Lovely looking machine and I love the understated cabinet. It won’t look out of place in a modern living room and doesn’t scream sewing machine.

Hope you find a zig-zag foot soon before temptation shows you another machine.

@sewmuchmore It looks as though part of the link is being cropped when I paste it. It needs the ---[www.freemagir].pdf bit.

Try copying and pasting this into your browser without the ** at the end:

If that doesn't work, send me a DM with your email address and I'll send you the PDF (I don't think you can send attachments in a DM).

Glad that progress is being made, @Bill .

I read a description of tension being a battle between the top thread and the bobbin thread. I can't remember(or find) the exact words, but it was along the lines of if the top tension was having to be set very tight it may be due to the bobbin tension being too tight and so a high top tension was being required to "pull" the bobbin thread from the bobbin case.

@Bill Does this mean the 66K is now "dual fuel" or "hybrid power"? Either way, it sounds very modern.
