Joy, thank you for your good advice about my New Home 672 machine with advice from Trisha and your kind words about your machine, hubby and I took it apart, cleaned it and oiled it. I let it sit over night and this morning I took it for a trial run. It sews like a charm and purrs like a happy kitty! Am looking forward to making my first quilt with it. Will name her Gertie in honor of my friend who it to me. Will try to attach a picture, although I haven't done that before. Sharon
