Hello, My brother brought me a Brother XL-5130 sewing machine that one of his friends got for his mother and she didn't want it. I'm guessing he got it second hand because there is no box, owner's manual or anything else other than the power cord and foot pedal. I've only owned Singer machines and I think I used a Viking machine many years ago in middle school. I've attached a picture of it, any information or suggestions for where I might get an owner's manual would be very appreciated. http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g59/cshortcrochet/th_BrotherXL-5130.jpg (http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g59/cshortcrochet/BrotherXL-5130.jpg) Thank you, Carol cshortsew

| I looked up your machine on line at Sew4less and they have your manual for $14.95. Possibly some other on line sites have it also and maybe for less. Sew4less might also have any other parts you need for your machine. I have never done business with them but have seen posts where they are referred often. |
