A great sale came along and I bought a better sewing machine, and had my other one fixed by a different person. I told this lady what this guy had done to the machine, and only charged me $65 to fix the machine to NEW! I now have 2 working machines, and will NEVER have this guy fix either of my machi fine ever again. I tell all my friends and anyone who needs a machine worked on!

And you'll have plumbers who can't fix the toilet, carpenters who can't miter an edge and auto mechanics who can never find that funny sound your car makes. So we just have to patronize the ones who do a good job, and pay them enough to make a living for themselves. Seriously, do you think a doctor who sews up the gash on your child's head is only going to charge you for 6" worth of sutures??? So pay a GOOD sewing machine mechanic decently for his expertise!
