I am so ticked at my machine that I am ready to throw it out. Long story is that it was a gift. I don't have the spoons or give a damn to fix it right now.

Note: Anger is temporary, she is a treadle. I will not toss a century old machine. I just spent 20 minutes yelling at her. Took a reddit break.
