Gorgeous machine and cabinet. Lucky you! You have a piece of your family; I bet your great grandmother would be extremely happy to see that her machine was still in the family. Get some sewing oil, give it a good oiling, and start sewing with this beauty. Do you have the manual? Sorry I can't tell you anything else, but someone else here should be able to help you.[/quote]
Thanks. I do have a manual, missing the front and back cover. The manual doesn't specify a type of needle, but vaguely instructs you to use only the correct good quality needles!
