Thank you. The machine I have was a Black Friday special that I paid $30 or $40 for. I thought I saw somewhere that it was a discontinued model. I have looked through the manual online as I cannot find where mine went. The specific problems I have been having are:
1. Thread breaking - this could be due to me not pulling the thread out and holding on to it when I start to sew.
2. Thread getting bunched up or putting a big wad of thread on the bottom of the fabric. - Could this be a tension issue?
3. Fabric puckering as I sew - not sure what would cause this...tension again?
4. I also have trouble with controlling the foot pedal. I push soft and it doesn’t go, then I push harder and it takes off. - this I’m sure is operator error and I just need to find that groove

It has been years since I even had it out, so not sure where my tension or stitch length or width were set at. Or more important...where they should be set at.

N.J. - I don’t know what you mean by throat size. I would need to buy a walking foot for the quilting correct?
