I'm trying to thinkof all the things you will need to do. Oh, yes, get a tube of motor lubricant (not sewing machine oil), and be sure you put lube in the little port on the motor. Look it up in the manual. It's important that you do this. Be sure you oil everything very well before you start sewing. Mine clanged like a gypsy before I oiled her up, and now just purrs along. You'll need to oil more often than a modern machine.
Hope you love yours like I do mine. Mine is Miss Ida and she is my prefered machine right now.
