Ron, Thanks for the presser foot info, and Cameron is very welcome. Just wish I'd have spent some time and got a Carson City postcard. c Cheryl Rotter Team Sports Ink 5111 Grumann Dr. Ste #1B Carson City, NV 89706 775-884-3550 -----Original Message----- From: amayausers-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:amayausers-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Body Cover Sent: Thursday, May 18, 2006 12:09 PM To: amayausers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [amayausers] Re: Presser foot adjustment I would think roll it down until it touches and then one click up. My guess is about 4 to 5 clicks up from bottom is where you'll end up. And Thanks for the letter to Cameron!
