It is a stepper motor machine and that also looks very good. With out a manual for the stepper I am not sure of the settings. Can you explain?

They gave me a bunch of extras including extra feet and several packs of needles so I can practice. Following I think it was your advice I got some remnants to practice on..couldnt find plaid but I did get some with stripes to practice straight line sewing on. I have found the service manual online which gives me the adjustments and oiling points so now just have to find a guide. thanks for all the assistance . Grant
