Thanks,Terrilee---I found the page showing how to lower the feed dogs (now how do I raise them?) I like the pdf of directions and have ordered the instruction manual for $20.
I just never had an instruction book when I traded my other machine in for this one. My Bernina 170 was a trade in, so guess the original owner didn't have an instruction book???
Funny, because I have asked for one and they said, no book for it???? Live and learn, eh? Many thanks! Marilyn
