a few questions, was it a new machine? no warranty?, does the light come on?, is it computerized? does ANY part of it work? would you consider taking it to a sew/vac repair shop for an estimate? mine charges about 60.00 bucks
I have a Singer that was bought for me about 25 years ago, still works fine I just wanted a new one, I gave up on wearing that one out and I wanted more bells and whistles! I have a White that I bought online last year, very simple, less that 100.00 including shipping and it's great for a nothing special machine. Not much commitment in the pocket book in case you decide you don't love sewing.
