Would you believe that I can stop with needle down or up? Automatically cut the thread and........ get this.............. it threads the needle all by itself!!!! bawhahahahah!!! Oh, and let's not forget a knee lifter! AND...Drop feed dogs, pressure regulator for the presser foot, an on/off pushbutton so I don't even have to use the foot pedal!!!! Speed control for REALLY slow to REALLY fast.

Oh my goodness...... I am in such heaven. I'll never sleep tonight.

OK - - going back to the manual now to read more. Gosh, I am so excited. And lots more to learn.

YIPPEEEE!!!
