Welcome, Spock. That sounds about right. I have a 1222 that would not straight stitch. I got it working (but I had to time the hook several times), but I put it away. I got it out, as someone wanted one, but when I tried to sew some stitch samples and make sure it was working properly - it messed up again. I was frustrated and haven't touched it since.
