I have a man-dude who is pretty handy & helpful, but I paid the extra charge for them to come out and set it up. Worth every penny. I have an 18" throat and the machine weighs close to 70 pounds. He & his helper set it up, leveled it, gave me instructions on basic maintenance, how to put a new needle in, wind a bobbin etc. and made sure that it worked in and out of stitch regulation mode. this last part was important! If something didn't work, I wanted to make sure it was just me and not something with the set up.
