Great !
Things don't always read the way people say or think them on the
forums .
You had said something like, "grandmother gave it to me but
doesn't know it yet"
that did not read well, i gave the benefit of doubt with a
question but i forgot the "?"
Older White's brand sewing machine are considered great machines
i do not know much about the newer ones.
They also made machines that were re-branded for places like
Sears Robuck etc. so if you if you can not find a manual for a
844 try looking at sears model 84 or something like that (confirm
with picture of machine all knobs in same place and shape etc)
here is a good site to read about history of various machines
including White and sometimes they have free manuals or parts of
manuals that you can download
