I did rotate the thread tension rod back forth between my fingers gently and it seems to move smoothly, as if those ball bearings were round and not flattened. I'll try restitching a design later and see if there are any issues. I can stitch the lettering design I created again until after the hoildays, somebody is home who can't see it until after 12-25-09 ) The version I am using is Design Shop Pro, the software the previous owner provided when I bought the machine. Do you know if the latest version comes with a new dongle or would I use the ones with the version I have now? I'm wondering if I should buy the upgrade to the latest version, or just have this one re-registered in my name. Me thinks starting off with the latest version would make more sense than learning this version and re-learning a new one later on. Sometimes it's hard to teach an old dog new tricks. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
