Jennb, It is a Kenmore 1218.
Path 49, This machine can't do a double needle. The needle is shifted all of the way to the left as you look at it when doing a straight stitch and there is not a L-R-Center setting for it, so a double needle would hit the foot. When you do a ZZ on it the needle stays to the left and swings to the right for the ZZ. Strange setup, I know. I still don't know why iot would have two spool pins on it though. I assumed it could do a double needle too until I saw how it went from Straight to ZZ.
