What gets me is I bought this machine as a reconditioned machine. Right now I need to find another belt for it because the belt broke. So won't be sewing with it for a while. I was happy with the way it did sew but not happy finding out it doesn't work properly!
If you bought it as reconditioned you should be able to take it back and have them either fix it or show you how it works. Likely, you have to pay for parts like the belt.
