I'm beginning to agree with you. After cleaning, oiling (a lot) and greasing, this machine is settling in and running quite nice. My wife has been putting decorative patterns around the pockets of jeans she's making shopping bags out of. For a machine to sit there and do patterns through 3 and 4 layers of jeans denim is unusual. Our MW 7 Jewel will not do it. It will do light duty things, but not jeans pockets.
It's also quieted down a lot since we've been running it too. I'm pretty sure the oil is getting into all the places it needs to be.

I just ordered an electronic foot controller from Sew-Classic for the Alden. I've been working on the felt with all the decorative stitches and can't do more than a half dozen at a time before the foot controller that's on it is too hot to keep my toes on the pedal. The motor is only a 0.8 amp motor so the controller Sew-Classic sells will work fine.
I'll have the pattern chart done tonight for sure.
