I'm guessing the same thing. Have you looked online for a manual? Neat machine....

I was wondering about the middle knob??? knob with arm, what does that do????

I had a Brother machine for years and that was how you regulated the stitch width.

Oh, I thought the "darn" button was when you made a mistake, you could push it and the machine would fix it. LOL.

OK the wedding is over and now I can get back to you. Thank you all for trying to help, but I looked at it very close last night and noticed that when the machine is running the bobbin winder thingy goes around too! This made me get a bobbin to see if it would work. The peg that the bobbin goes on is all the way over to the wind position and won't go back. It's like it is locked in that position. Hubby was able to force it back but still could not turn the DARN knob. So told hubby he could go ahead and see what he can do. He needs a hobby (not just fishing) anyway. THANK YOU ALL for trying to help!!

You found a great deal.

When you make a mistake you turn the darn knob and it un sews your mistake? Just kidding.

I believe Pacesetters are made by Brother.

It sure is a pretty machine. Perhaps hubby will love fixing it so much he will start fixing everything for everybody! Then you will both be happy for only 3$ LOL

This knob drops the feed dog. You do not need the feed dog when darning as you control the movement of item being darned. This looks like a wonderful buy. ENJOY!
