Yes for sure! My machine is 40 years old, and ive never had to take it in to be serviced, hubby does it for me. I can hardly wait til he gets home lol, well, i am going to give it another try now, and if it works ok he can look at it another day. Just when i was trying to have a sewing day though, and then this, left me tired and frustrated for awhile lol, oh well, will give it a go and see how it works now :)
