    Thanks John, I didn't know who John was so deleted the e-mail before coming here. Got to be super careful with all the scammers around these days. I did get an notification e-mail that brought me here so that is working. I will try the upgrade and let you know.

    Quick change insert height

    Welcome from the Cowichan valley on Vancouver Island. I had a Busy Bee combination machine for a number of years and got to know it inside out and backwards during that time.
