Amy,
Long story short, this kid and his brother were rebellious to the point that nothing their mother or I could do could get them to stay in high school. Both dropped out. Both are intelligent in many ways. Neither can read and comprehend instructions worth a hoot.
Txxxxx simply wants someone who knows about sewing machines to help him get set up. After that he'll be pretty much on his own and he knows it.
If I came across a 15-91 he'd never know it as I'd be keeping it for myself. Now a nice shiny 15 clone that runs good is a horse of a different color. That I could set up for him real easy. Hmmmmmm .....
Lizzy,
That's the big problem. It would be a good machine for him because as a ZZ it is simple and this example works very well.
I'm thinking I should just shut my yap and send it along as it was originally bought for him.
