Just want to say, congrats. I just bought the same machine last fall and love it! She sews like a dream. Mine did not turn at all....she was frozen, but a little overnight soak in oil and she loosened right up. One thing I did find was that the bobbin case was dirty...you know that old gray looking dirty metal kind of dirty and the stitches were not very nice. I took my trusty dremel tool and used the brass brush attachment (gentler than the steel brush) and cleaned all the corrosion (?) off inside and out, wiped it down with a little oil, dried it and no more problems. I also just found the cabinet has a knee control! Have fun!!
