I want to make available an actual "How To" Manual for this model (Singer Stylist 513) as I encountered such resistance in my own search. I sure hope I'm doing this correctly so at least somebody can benifit!! I just think it's wrong to charge us for this kind of thing considering ..... a manual for Heaven's sake!! :-( But ... I REALLY wanted & needed it in order to get going here .... so I did manage to locate it for '$5.00U.S.' (much better by half than most sites) I thought it only fitting to bring it back to share ..... sooooo .... here's to anyone else to whom it may be useful!! HAPPY SEWING PEOPLE!!! ;-)
