It's in a different shop this time for repair but I'm angry that I had to spend $90 for "cleaning" plus they messed up the bobbin holder so I had to purchase another of those as well, $35 at their shop. If I had just taken it out and sewn when I got it home I could have taken in back then but they insist they did everything right and I must have "damaged" it at home. :evil:

My prayers are with you too and your machine!!

Is it possible that the machine could have accidentally been switched with another identical machine at the shop?
I write my name on the bottom of all my machines. They happen to be plastic, so I use a permanent marker. For metal machines, you could use a dull needle to scratch your name somewhere on the bottom. I also wrote my name on the side of my ott light, so it can easily be seen, to prevent mixups in classes. |

I feel for you and yes there are always greater problems in the world but you still have every right to be upset. You've gotten some good advice about trying it out before you leave the shop. Take your time in doing so, change the stitches and settings while you're there. Good luck with this.

i hate it when my sewing machine is not working well....good luck with all tommorrow....

Have had similar things happen to me, but good that you are taking it in to be fixed. Trying to sew with that kind of problem can damage your machine if something is really off.
Here's hoping they correct it soon and you are back to some fun sewing and quilting. |
Sorry about the sewing machine. Hey, I don't know if you're interested in basketball or not, but MY Sacramento Kings may become the Annaheim Royals. :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: I will be pretty sad if that happens, but I will have more time for sewing.... ;)

I feel your pain. Wonder why they didn't check it out before they gave it back to you?
