Thanks BellaBoo for the additional positive review. Since I have no idea what you mean by "air tube" I don't think I have that. I really like the foot pedal - it is metally, industrial looking and very smooth.
OK - lesson #2: When changing the foot, make sure the stitch you select actually works with that foot OOOOOOR you break the needle - lol
I played all evening and had a good time. She is a little louder than my other machines and some of that may be new machine syndrome. With a few hours under her belt, she may run smoother.
She sure has a nice selection of feet and the 1/4" foot is scant. (tried that last night). So far, there is more to like than dislike. I told Pat that I need to do a "real" project - not just sew like mad on scraps. He said he dreamt that I sewed slip covers for EVERYTHING in the house - even the bed. It had pockets for the pillows. ROFL.
