Kenmore 2142?
I found this machine in a resale shop. I was looking for something inexpensive for a friend. I found this machine and tests it out, and it seems to have a good stitch and sewed through lots of layers. But there wasn't a manual and when I google Kenmore 2142, it looked to me like there were lots I'd machines with that number. I have 2 questions:
1) the needle is offset to the left. Is that the way it should be?
2) there a toggle ON/OFF dial on the top. When I move it to ON, I was hoping to find it moved the needle back to center, but it appears to make a blind hem stitch. Is this the way it should be? There doesn't appear to be any place for cams, I'm guessing this model is just straight and zig zag, and that blind hem thing.
Can anyone help me with any additional information?
Thanks!!
