A very cute idea! Why no need for a hammer? I once saw a sewing machine repairman take a hammer to my sewing machine while trying to fix it with me right next to him. Needless to say I never went back to that man or the LQS if that's the kind of "authorized" personnel they hire to work on our babies. I have an older White sewing machine(she's 45+yr.s old), but that didn't give him the right to take a hammer to it.
