Thanks chookyblue, can't tell how much I have appreciated your help, starting to understand -gadgets- etc. Looked up on the internet and found help ...and it made sense...at last. Having lots of fun. Not much sewing going on at the moment, soon going to UK to stay with daughter number 3. back after 10th Oct. haven't put down my name for your swap as I would hate to be behind. Next time. nana on the farm
