Hi there, I've been thinking of buying a machine for ages, but I am so far from the Martha Stewart Genre that I am very intimidated with technology... After researching fancy new machines with warranties but reading up on how often something goes wrong with them, I've taken my mother in law's advice and decided to go with an old reliable machine. (Or so I hope!) Arrives tomorrow, and is supposed to be in great working order... Here is the ad I bought it from and all that does and does not come with it. Can anyone tell me out there what is missing, what I will need to get started with just a simple jean hemming project? (11 pairs waiting for hubby and kids!) Just wanted a basic, strong machine for little jobs and nothing too fancy...
