Okay, I've mentioned that the foot pedal of my sewing machine is broke (which totally sucks with Halloween around the corner). But a replacement for it costs...well, a lot of money (I think $80+). In fact, the cheapest sewing machine sold at Wal-Mart is cheaper than the pedal.
Should I buy a new pedal (on the internet, which presents some problems regarding paying for it) or buy a new sewing machine (which might present its own problems with it being one I've never tried before)?
