Good luck with Singer management their machines are not as good as their real old molds I had a bad experience with a Singer model Athena 2000 never sewed everytime I went to use it it would just hum, sent it back to the factory 3 times after the fourth time it happened I sent a letter to the President of the Company and told him I would not own another Singer machine even if they gave it to me for free. I finally threw the machine out I was soo discussed with it. I would take it back to Joann's and demand my money back.
