I must say it's my very favorite machine and I find I don't want to sew on any of my others anymore.
Thank you for your reply. It's been a learning curve but not so bad and I am getting more comfortable with it. I oil it and clean it all the time also otherwise it will yell at me LOL Do you have any tips to make the oiling easier? Having to take the bobbin, case and get it back in (the hardest part for me) is a pain.
