Truthfully, I can't remember now if I read the manual or not. I do remember that it worked for a while but then it didn't work any more. I wasn't meaning to bash Singer or the machine, I just wanted to give you a heads up just in case yours did the same thing. I also have a Singer 9940 that I really like and has caused me no problems whatsoever. I guess I was leary of paying that much money and having a lemon since they were new to the market and I was close to the end of the trial period.
Keep us updated on how it goes.
