So glad you were lucky, I have been trading some of my stuff for sewing machines but the only bad thing is I cannot find a book or instructions to any of them. Have been on line over and hour looking for a manual for New Home Designs machine by Janome Manufacturing company and can't find anything. I asked where the model number would be on it as I have looked it over and found nothing but a 951 on it but no manuals and none of the machines looks like this one neither. I am so proud you have that beauty. I hope I run across something like that before long.
