Leslie, that's a very pretty one. How nice that it's a family machine.
Nanamoms, good, then when I need help with the zz stitches, I'd like to contact you. I don't have a manual and didn't think I'd need one. We'll see. It seems that you have move certain things in certain ways in order to get her to do her thing. When I sewed on my mother's White which was very much the same, I must have stuck to straight stitch sewing or my memory is failing. I'll play after I get the motor back on. The light cord and plug in cord are fine, but the motor cord was totally bare and was attached deep in the motor with solder so I had my appliance repairman replace it. He'd never done a SM, but a motor is a motor.
Now the MW is sewing very well and is quiet except that the motor is noisy at lower speeds. The machine is quiet and at high speed sounds good. It was not clean. How can a store charge money and not remove the needle plate? It was packed with lint.
