There is absolutely nothing about which you should be embarrassed! I remember back, about 53 years ago, at my first full-time job after graduating high school, I was working for the Vice President, Sales, of the company, and there was a sales bulletin file which had a lot of material in it collected over the years. One was a cartoon of a salesman, and the caption beneath the cartoon, said "I consider the day a total loss if I don't sell something." Well, I modified that for myself --"If ever there's a day when I don't learn something, I'm dead."

I've had my Elna for about a year, and it took me a while to get used to it and its "newfangled" stitches. Recently, I spent the morning in the shop where I bought it, with my machine, getting answers to questions that have built up (e.g., how to hem a tshirt using a double needle, how to use some of the fancy stitches in quilting). It was a great experience. And I learned that my dealer is more than happy to give me a tutorial anytime.

This is why I read my manuals - once or twice when I first start using something new, and then again several months later, to pick up anything I've missed. I discover all sorts of cool things about devices I already own that way. I even read manuals for things like stoves and microwaves. You just never know what you'll find in there.

You're not alone! I've had my machine for 5 years and while sewing some pillowcases I noticed that when I took my foot off the pedal, or just stopped the presser foot went up... I must of pushed something... Back to the manual!!
