Yes it has power. The motor kind of hums and the needle goes down very slowly, but when I try to move it will not move. The stitch length is the same as I’ve always had it set at almost to the middle. When I turn the stitch regulator off she sews very nice except the stitches are not even. It does not vibrate or bounce when the stitch regulator is off. Very perplexing and frustrating! It was vibrating at all speeds.
