Congratulations on the machine!!!! Kenmores always hold a soft spot in my heart because that was the machines that my mom used all of the time. Here in the south you always bought your stuff from Sears I guess that was because in the old country they always mail ordered. And I really looked forward to the Wishbook they put out at Christmas time!! It was the highlight of my youth and I remember my little sister and I spending hours at a time looking at it laying in front of the fireplace while mom and dad were watching TV.
