Congratulations! I have had mine for 55 years and use her every day; only 1 trip to the hospital in all that time.

Bought mine new in 1958 and she still sews everything as good now as when I bought her. I am happy you found her and know you will get a lot of use from her.

Cricket, I don't have a hard copy, I downloaded one from the net.

That will work just fine. It isn't always clear, without the manual, what you should do on this machine if you aren't used to it.
