Thanks Mickey2 and quilted sunshine. From what I've learned, the 730, 731, and 732 were a series with 730 having the most fancy ("decorative") stitches, the 731 four of the deco stitches, and the 732 the fewest. I've downloaded a manual, too and when it gets dropped off next week I'll update. I have never used an Italian sewing machine (though this one is actually Swiss, like the Artista 180 that my sister gave me several years ago and I should stop being scared of.)
