First thing you do is give her a good oiling in every hole and underneath every part that turns. She should use 15X1 needles and threading should be intuitive. Do check the wiring though for brittleness and bare wires. Good luck with Stella.
THANK YOU!! I just bought and downloaded the manual. The wiring will have to be replaced. It is brittle and in places has been taped. DH wants to cut it and splice on a new wire, but I'm feeling protective of Stella and may want a shop to do it. Funny how we become so attached so quickly! And I haven't even sewn on her yet!
