Got a couple of particular questions for you if you do have one, or are
familiar with them. I'm getting mine running but having a couple of simple
(hope so) glitches so far.

Downloaded the manual. Theaded machine as indicated. Found out how to
adjust stitch per inch. Found out that I was adjusting the wrong thumbnut
to adjust the thread tension so that the thread is not in a straight line on
the bottom of the fabric. Haven't had time to try that yet.
My main problem is when getting ready to sew. I hand roll the wheel to get
the needle to go down and pick up the bobbin thread. Then pull the two ends
up through the holes. It seems most every time I sew, I get a tangle on the
under side of the fabric where the bobbin thread tangles for some reason.
Should the top thread come out of the needle left to right, and the bobbin
thread come up through the hole, then the fabric go in between the two?
Sometimes it reaches the length of the top thread, then starts pulling back
on the fabric.
I haven't had the time to mess with it today and try adjusting the correct
thread tensioning nut, but think that a lot of the problem of the thread on
the underside being straight will be solved by that.
My main concern is the birdsnest at the start, or when the starting thread
gets to its end and pulls back on the fabric.
I'm sure that this is probably a simple matter, but it has me stupified
right now.
Thanks.
Steve

Ok That could be many things.
To start with the needle threads left to right. Always pull at least 6
inches of thread from both the needle and bobbin when you start. It will
shrink as the machine takes up slack. Hold the ends until you gat a couple
stitches.
Also be sure the position finger on the bobbin case is locked in the needle
plate groove. It is common to miss that when putting the needle plate back
on.
When you pull the needle thread with the foot down you should feel a
substantial resistance and a very light resistance on the bobbin thread.
