*waves* I'm back, so i took time out today to poke around on the Kenmore. I finally figured out how to get some of the stitches to work. It involved moving the stitch modifier to S. I still don't know the model number because the previous owner made a wooden base for the machine that they then glued to the machine. I can see where the plate is just not how to get it without pulling off the base. *sighs* But on the plus side I have cams that can do fish shapes, tree shapes, swan shapes and also duck shapes. LOL

Really?! That's awesome! I'll check out the series. This machine you have to pop the top off from by the hand wheel. Also you can pull the hand wheel out a bit to stop the needle movement. Which is cool. This machine seems to have a ghost. If the foot pedal isn't completely up it will continue to slowly run. lol

Thanks, I'm finding it has some stitches that my more 'plastic fantastic' Singer has. My singer is mis timed and is *sighs* being annoying. lol I may actually have to spend $$$ getting it serviced professionally. *head desk* But that can wait. *wink* I have cam's with trees and ducks on it. lol

Your monogrammer fits the Open Arm version of this model.
the shape of the Chainstitch plate is also indicative of the machine it fits - looks like you have the square one.
The SML is for the stitch modifier - on my machine it's called the "varigater" but it does the same thing. It is a small adjustment for the stretch stitch cams (they go backward and forward along with side to side) to adjust the backward/forward part, so S will have for a smaller backward/forward moving, and L will have a larger forward/backward movement. So you adjust that along with the length and width to get the pattern looking like you want.
