Wow, these are all great tips! An old friend gave this machine to me when she was moving - since then, I've spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to use it... I'm usually pretty good with figuring stuff like this out but this one is stumping me! was told that the machine is in great condition and has everything it needs (except the manual, which has been long gone!) Does anyone here know of any tutorials that can help me learn how to use this machine? Thanks in advance!
