[QUOTE="Shangas, post: 79814, member: 360"]It's not easy to do. There's all sorts of things you gotta sort out and think over. For one horrible moment, I thought that the machine was irreparably broken! I sent a message to a friend who runs a sewing-machine repair business, and he very patiently trouble-shot with me over the telephone at 9:00pm at night. In the end I figured out which (two) problems were screwing me over, and after rectifying them, the machine started sewing!! This is a real beast of a machine. I can see why it's still manufactured today. I can't wait to get it fully operational and all complete. I've wanted to take up quilting as a hobby for a while, but it wasn't possible on my 3/4 size 128...
