Last two times I sewed my machine shut off in the middle of sewing. Called the store and they said it might be a loose connection or a circuit board gone bad. Can't get it there until next week. So, I'll be without a machine for about 2 weeks!
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
My machine is broken!

That why I didn't trade in my older Bernina when I upgrade to my Bernina 1530. Always have a backup. Hope it is just a loose connection and not a board. They I have heard are expensive !!!

So agree with this. Even if it is an older machine as a backup, it will come in handy when the primary has to be serviced. To me, it just makes sense.Originally Posted by ManiacQuilter2

Those mechanical/vintage machines are so handy to keep! I believe everyone should have 1 or 6 as backups.
hahaha....I have 12 backups! I'm set. I have a friend who has over 40, but she will never have to replace a motherboard or chip--they're all treadles or cranks.
You can't have enough backups! also need extra when friends or relatives visit and want to sew, that actually happens fairly often, and of course for granddaughters. And a treadle or handcrank for when power out. That's my story & sticking to it, works well whenever a stray motherless machine has followed me home.
I have heard that one should start and finish sewing a project on the same machine due to the variance in the 1/4 inch seam allowance from different presser feet. Has this been an issue for anyone?
