I can change settings and stitches...but no will sew at all. I turn it off, turn it on....will not sew. Then it will work fine....then it won't sew. then one day while I was scratching my head staring at it.....it took off at full speed and would not stop until I pulled the plug. I have brought it into the shop three times....and of course it works fine there....I use a surge protector with it....none of my other machines behave this way....I dunno...I want to get rid of it cuz I just don't trust it to bring to a class....but I don't want to sell a misbehaving machine.....
