Exactly! I am making covers for all my machines (30+) and each will have a pocket for an index card(s) with way to thread, way to place bobbin, what the machine is/isn't good at, threads it likes or doesn't, it's little tricks, etc. Since I also have students from time to time, it will say whether I reserve that machine for my own use or whether a beginner/intermediate/advanced student may use it.
Joe, don't feel bad. We've all been there.
BTW, thanks to you, Joe, and everyone else for help with the Singer 500 a couple months ago. It is purring now.
