hi I also have purchased a slim standard rotary sewing machine and am also looking for a manual for it I have found pictures for threading it and the scroll work done on it but i need to refurbish it a little I also have a few extra feet that i do not know what they do if any one could email me the manual that would be great. If noone objects to my inquiring why you all have decided on treadle sewing machine instead of the electric newer models? I would be very interested in finding that out.
