Nope no manual, just the machine and since I don't have a foot control, I'm not even sure it works. It looks great, but that doesn't mean anything about the inside. WOW those control foot prices are really really high. Guess this machine might have to sit for a good number of years until I stumble upon a cheap foot. $20 is the max I will pay for one and that site has them for over $150! Not saying it isn't worth it, but I have to work far too many hours to afford it :-) Thanks for your help!
