Plate underneath says product of France--motor made in Japan--anyone have a manual so I could get a copy of threading directions?

I just Googled it and found many.

Well, what did I do wrong-got nothing when I tried!
Thank you!

NOW--if I can just find a foot that fits the thing!

The manual really helps---missed some spots oiling!

I love the pictures of the lady in that manual. She looks so happy.

Yipppeeeee!
I have it running and sewing--jury rigged a foot by having the screw barely holding the foot--still not tight enough down to the plate to work right when sewing, but at least can get the Xmas presents quilted!
