If you have a particular question rather than just wanting the manual on hand......I have a 1630 and all the goodies from years ago when they first came out with this machine and I treated myself to one! Honestly I do most of my sewing and all piecing on my 301A......but 1630 has been a fun go-to machine for projects that need a zig-zag and all the designs and fonts.....like baby shower ribbons with the chosen boy name on the wide blue ribbons and girl names on the wide pink ...ancient history now that everyone "knows" before the shower...guess that tells how old the machine is!
