So happy to hear you got this worked out. What a great machine at a super price!!! I too love the Pfaffs for their attached walking foot. No fiddling with one that needs to be put on every time you want to use it. It engages when you want it and disengages when you don't. How cool is that? I hardly use my Bernina anymore for volumn sewing; mostly just use it for zig-zag and some other decorative stitches on smaller items. Enjoy your machine!
