The manual is located on the manufacterer's website - http://www.singerco.com/accessories/instruction-manuals/search?man_model_no=9985

If you one who bothers to read the manual, the designs are useful. However some Complex designs are difficult without the manual! I used it on a Brother, not a Janome. Hope this helps.

I don't have the gold, but I've researched it and they both seem like top-flight machines. My Pro is fantastic and I have a blast with it. It boils down to what you're looking for and how detailed a machine you want. The Pro is very detail oriented. The Gold, from what I've seen of people using it, is a very focused, get in and go machine. Not the answer you were hoping for, I'm sure, but it's the best I've got. This is a great hobby and however you may start you will find the right machine for your needs over time.

No, it is an industrial straight stitch machine. No frills. I use it for home decor sewing (pillow covers, window treatments, shower curtains, and tablecloths).

I bought the extra feet. This machine is awesome. Yes! You can. And I do. If you are gonna spend this kind of money get the new one that has 5th spoil so you can overlock stitch. (The stitch used to hem tshirt and knit clothing). It was not out yet when I bought mine. Wise investment and well worth it

I got rid of this machine and the manual a while back. Perhaps someone is selling a manual on Ebay - otherwise good luck in your quest - Scott

First off, I am still an amateur tattooist (scratcher), however I have used several different machines and done some decent practice work recently. It is my opinion that these machines are 2 of each due to the springs and the designs of the frames. Although all of the "point screws" are set in the same position on all 4 machines. 2 of the machines have fairly loose springs and 2 of them are tight. I have not used all 4 machines yet, but the ones that I have used run like a champ. They are already in tune and sound and feel great. I've purchased other machines (look in my reviews) that were garbage, so my opinion is based on the work I've done and the feel of the machine. I hope this helps you out. If you have anything else to ask/add feel free to holla at me.

This is a serger, so it has different special stitches for edge work... it won't have straight or zigzag stitch. There are tons of sewing machines that have up to 300 different types of stitches that sounds more what you might be looking for when you say you want an all purpose machine

Mine came with a user manual which is a 9 page booklet talking about safety, how to check for defects, proper ways to use it with ceramics, fabrics, ect, and ways to adjust the machine if the results weren't satisfactory. If I can answer any questions that are in the manual, please feel free to ask.

I bought this machine for someone so I don't know, but try to see if you can find a manual for it online

It's a great sewing machine, period. Besides quilts, I sew garments and home dec projects, and I love the powerful motor.

I was new to sewing as well. As long as you read the instructions in the manual it is a very easy machine to use. Very easy to thread the needle, and I love the bobbin winding feature...I guess people don't like to sit down and actually read and learn about what they just bought... I had no sewing experience at all, and now I'm sewing like crazy!! Hope this helps... :)

Hi, N. Brown! I actually ordered mine from JC Penney, since I got a good price on it by way of an advertising error on their part... Either way, I only got it last night, and didn't find it too difficult to assemble just going by the sheet instructions. It IS quite heavy weight in construction, which I definitely count as a plus. The one thing that I can see that, so far, hasn't been mentioned in the reviews is, if you're on the heavier side (I'm 210 lbs at 5'5" tall, and wide through the hips) it doesn't SEEM particularly roomy when you're on the machine. I DID have a great time exercising on it last night after assembling it, though! If you love elliptical machines, as I do (they were my only motivation for going to the gym, and every time I went, I had to wait at least 20 minutes to get on one, so I cancelled my membership... Now I've got my own, dagnabbit! ;) ), you should really like this machine. I don't know if they're as squeaky over time as the other reviews state, but I'd assume that they are. Also, I live in a single bedroom apartment, and don't have a lot of room left over to leave this standing up. The main problem? I'd planned on sliding it under my futon when I'm not using it, but everything but the handles will fit - the handles just sit too high up to fit underneath it. It IS a heavy piece, as I said before, so a bit unwieldy, but the wheels on both the bottom of the rear frame, and the foot pedal pieces, help for maneuvering it. If you're not big on exercise, as I am not unless it's fun for me, but love cross trainer and elliptical machines, then I'd suggest you get this, if it's not more than you want to spend. It does take a little initial exercise to figure out your rhythm, but once you get going, it's GREAT! I woke up this morning eager to get back on it and go, and I haven't felt that way about exercise in YEARS, if ever!

The pro version has the machine option; and a library of some patterns (Donna Vermillion Giampa; Kooler Design Studio). If you are a regular stitcher (rather than a teacher or a designer), the regular program will do everything you want! mb

Oh yea, I just read your review on this reloader...I'm reading more positive than negative reviews. I am a retired Machinist and I can't see this machine being too difficult to set-up and operate as described. I have read the do's and don'ts and what to watch for and it seems pretty simplistic.. Besides, If it is too problematic as you say, I'll return it. Thanks for your response...

I love my CE7070. It is a reliable machine and it is helping to relearn how to sew. I would recomend to any stage seamstress.
