How sweet, oldtnquiltinglady! I'm still pretty far from Austin, however. Near DFW, but in the sticks. Maybe you could steer me in a beginning kind of direction. I'd like to learn to use it, certainly! I know they aren't all alike, but maybe this is near enough you could advise me?
Thanks for responding to my post, JoAnn.

Hello Monroe. Thanks for responding. I have Googled, but not for an owner's manual yet. I wonder why not! Lol. Good idea and one I will be acting on shortly!

This owners manual should match your machine: http://ascrapoflife.blogspot.com/201...er-sewing.html
read and click on the green print - that manual will work for your machine.

You need to clean and oil it carefully. Does it have a manual? If so, there will be directions. We like Tri-Flow oil from Sew-Classic.com., and their grease too. See how she sews and there may be small tension adjustments. It is a pretty machine and I would be proud to own it. Those machines need lubrication periodically and should preform well. I recommend starting with squares and then when you're comfortable with that, then half-square triangles. Hundreds of possibilities with those. You will develop skills. See you have a quilting guide, the long wire-looking thing. Get a good seam guide for 1/4 inch seams and you're quilt making. Good luck. We're always glad to help you.

Brenda, Welcome to the Board. That machine is real pretty. If it belonged to your mother or grandmother, you sure don't want to sell it! Quilting is fun!
