Hi Rod,
Sorry I didn't get back to you earlier but I couldn't see my e-mails at work
for some reason. Here is the design. See how it sews for you. In the
meantime I'm going to try the suggestion Sharon sent earlier to see if it
helps. I'm crossing my fingers on that one. Why is it that the job you save
for last that you thought was going to be the easiest always creates
havoc??? Oh well, what would lfe be without a challenge?
Thanks to you guys for always stepping up to the plate to help everyone out.
