My daughter got me a second hand Montgomery Ward Sewing Machine. I have been trying to figure out how to use it without a manual. I can only get it to sew straight stitches and it seems to be stuck on the blind hem stitch. I can't get it to do a regular zig-zag. Does anyone have a Montgomery Ward machine with the 8 decorative stitches. It is called a UHTJ1934. Yesterday it would zig-zag today I can't get it to do it so I am sure I have done something. Help

yes, I know a manual is helpful but we can't find one. I have been sewing forever and it is a very simple machine. We (my husband and I) opened it up yesterday and discovered that the gear on the stitch knob is broken. I was fairly certain I was doing what needed to be done to change the stitch but since the gear is broken it doesn't do anything. Problem solved. It will do a straight stitch and a zigzag so I will be ok until we find something else. Thanks for your help.

Sewing tip of the decades, alway have the manual. Even though you don't use it often, its worth every penny of it. I would also tell you to go and get the machine serviced by a tech somewhere, unless she bought it from someone with a reputable service business.
Also make sure that everything leads through the tensions, even the bobbin has tension!
Enjoy sewing, I know I love everyminute of my sewing
