Cecilia, I haven't tried the satin stitch yet, but the zigzag stitch is the nicest I've ever seen!
Pat, I can't say I'm moving easily between my 5 sewing machine. I, too, keep my manual on hand. I didn't inherited any of my sewing machine, but if I had, I would use it more often. I'm more attached to the ones I got directly from the previous owner (instead of getting them second hand from the son, daughter, friend who never sewed on it)
