HELP!!! Need help on a New Home Model 552
 

DIL has her Mother's New Home Model 552 sewing machine, has no manual on it and we are trying to turn the knob on top to change from striaght stitch to ZZ and other stitches. Is there a trick to this??? Also, do you know where we could get a manual? I have looked on internet and can't find a place that carries that model. Thanks

Is this machine one of those that needsa ZZ cam in order to ZZ? If yes, will not ZZ if cam not in machine.

I hope someone's already posted this, but all you have to do is turn the dial from AUTO to OFF. Then set you stitch and turn it back to AUTO. If you are using a SUPER AUTOMATIC stitch, you will need to set lever at the top to super automatic while the dial is turned to OFF. Hope this helps.
