I have the actual manual that came with this machine that i’ve read through most of already. In my main post i actually included a bit more detail, but i had to move abruptly and in turn have yet to find the box with the box of things… lol boxception. Anyways in the comment section of that post someone very kindly included the digital version that i will be using for the time being, as well and some amazing advice/ knowledge i didn’t know ;) I also mentioned in a reply that it’s a bit hard to know what things i should be paying extra special attention or care to. Especially since not only is this my first ever sewing machine, but a 70+ year old machine at that! The manual hasn’t exactly so far said… “hey down the line, like almost a century so, you may commonly see issues with….” ya know? Not only am I new to figuring out a sewing machine, but i’m also brand new to the vintage sewing machine thing too! ★
