I agree with looking at other XL models on Tia's site. I will sometimes check out manualslib.com
Janey - Neat people never make the exciting discoveries I do.
I missed that, Janey. I did not follow all the links, but that may be available for free.
I was suggesting that she look for similar looking Brother machines (may help....hers is referred to as a convertible) and look on the Brother site for a free manual that might help her enough to figure out the ins and outs.
The other option is to look for a Brother or Japanese sewing machine group on Yahoo, facebook or that other one that ends in .io (hopefully, someone will fill in the blank on the .io thing) as they often have manuals in their files.
One other thought is to look for a phone number for Brother. You can often find them if you keep on looking at their website (usually a link (generally "contact") at the bottom of the home page in the tiny writing).
