Thank you all for your compliments! I am very very happy with this machine. It purrs like a kitten. I am having the spool pin fixed hopefully tomorrow.
Instead of using a seam guide that I have to attach like the one I saw in the message, I am opting to put the QTools Sewing Edge tape on at the proper measurement for the 1/4 inch.
I should be able to do some sewing on her tomorrow.
Thanks again for all your information and good thoughts.
