Joe, don't worry about the pictures for the 533. I don't have access to the machine and it won't be here until mid June when my GD comes to stay. She will be fine with a SS machine at 13 years old. She made an entire quilt on it with the exception of the FMQ - she used my 301 for that. Her father said she couldn't bring it home until it had a thread jam so she could learn how to fix that as he works on the road and her mother doesn't sew. It never once jammed. Yes, I have been able to get her a manual through the generosity of a board member.
