Maybe it got tired of me using it for the 2 hours straight. lol! I don't have anything magnetic aroung my machine just metal which are my sewing scisors. I have looked on the Singer website and they don't even have my machine on it, nothing in the forums either. I will try calling the 800 number tonight. I have been so stressed out with this that I have been sick with a migraine ever since. :( Thanks everyone for all your wounderful replys.
I am sure glad you got it running...it is sooooo frustrating to be stuck in the middle of a project and have machine problems. Glad you did not have to take it to the shop and have them keep it for 3 weeks!
