But it didn't come with any accessories or a manual. I have been looking for weeks and nobody has that manual, not even for sale! <br /><br />Would you please, please, PLEASE send me a copy of it? My email is cecisdesigns4you@gmail.com. I would really appreciate it. Also, in regards to zippers, what kind of foot do you use? I am in need of one too because I use this machine to sew bags. <br /><br />Thank you so much!

I thought I did something wrong and was extremely puzzled why I couldn't get it back to the middle (never noticed it was permanently on the left because I had it serviced before using it. Couldn't find anything in the manual about it either. Thanks for posting that tidbit, very helpful.Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04420458445442482137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-27989965648687533212013-07-14T21:43:46.300-04:002013-07-14T21:43:46.300-04:00This is a terrific machine!

It was in super condition, and she used it up to the day she had to have surgery/entered a nursing home. I took it in for servicing and it works like a gem. She purchased a cabinet for her machine as well as some awesome accessories like binders, rufflers, etc., as well as a vintage buttonholer. Those are the bomb! This machine is awesome!!! Enjoy.

My dad even sewed vinyl on it when he recovered truck seats. Mom's is still going strong, and I think it may have been cleaned and oiled once since 1966.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08591117435183287715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-30017941072634439172013-05-13T10:48:45.203-04:002013-05-13T10:48:45.203-04:00I adore your posts about sewing machines.
