I pulled a machine out storage to give to a 11yo girl who wants to sew. I had gotten this at a thrift store, and never worked on it. A little oil and TLC, and it is good to go. Really a nicer machine than I usually give away, but she got starry eyed at the pink....
however, I need a manual badly. All the basic manuals I have are either Singer, japanese ZZ, or german. I don't want to give her an HA-1 manual because the threading is so different. I don't care what the badge is- so someone with an Atlas, Coronado, etc etc etc if the threading/bobbin/buttons are the same I would love to have a copy.
She gets the machine and a lesson tomorrow- we are making pillowcases
and yes, I adjusted the pedal to a low speed, and will put a finger guard on it.

I've just sent you a PM. I have a manual that will work for your machine. It's not an exact match but it's very close, Straight stitch with the upper tension on the front of the machine.

Such a lovely machine and I hope she treasures it forever. Please tell her this is a machine of beauty and if she ever decides to get rid of it, here's my address.........lol.
