I posted a reply, but it's gone. I'm sorry, I don't know how to re-function a machine. If it won't reverse or back-stitch I don't know how to change that.

I am sorry, I don't know how to make an older machine backstitch if there is no mechanism or lever for that.

I am so sorry to take so long to reply! I have been traveling for months... Not all oils are the same, but a good sewing machine oil will work for all machines. You can buy a small container of sewing machine oil at JoAnn's or sewing machine retailers BUT do not use 3-in1 oil, it's not good for sewing machines. My best, Marguerita

Hi, I haven't been on this site in a while and it looks like my Instructable has been changed somehow. I'm trying to figure out what's going on. The video is on YouTube and I've inserted the link but it's not showing up.

Hi, I used a Kenmore for years and I loved it. For the most part it did everything that the expensive machines did. BUT, I could not get as good results in free-motion quilting with the Kenmore (would would not believe the lengths I went to trying) as I did on a used Bernina that I finally bought.
