We let her get good an warmed up, and plugged her in this morning. Light came on, and motor ran, but needle didn't go up and down. I figured there was something in the bobbin winding mechanism not releasing - so I grabbed the manual while DH pushed buttons.
He found it before I did - and it works well enough to leave positive feedback. DH will give this machine a thorough cleaning and oiling before I do any sewing with it.
Right now I'm trying to determine if I'm missing any of the accessories that would have come with the buttonholer box. I notice on several listings there is a blue box with a big Q on it - anyone know what that is for? I can read that it contains one foot and two needles, but can't tell what the foot looks like or is for. May have no use for it, but you know how I am about the attachments!
