Of course the problem with "Kenmore" products is that different models were manufactured by different manufacturers. I have a Kenmore that was my mother's (early 80s) that she gave me because she hated it. And guess what? I hate it, too. But I haven't figured out what I want, except I wish I hadn't given up the early White zigzag that was my grandmother's. Lauren M. Walker lauren.wal...@comcast.net
