That was the first thing I did and the nearest one is in Columbus which would be about as far as it would be to go to Atlanta. I bought a 930 Brenina Record back in the late 80's in Macon. I really like it. I keep it oiled and cleaned and have never had any trouble with it. It was sewing fine and a few hrs. later I went back to sew some more and something has happened to it. It is like the needle won't go down. It goes down to a certain point and it is like it is hitting on something. I removed the needle, the bobbin case and the hook. Still doesn't go down. Took the covers off and can not see what is causing it. The bobbin winder works. I think I am going through withdrawal. My husband wants to get his hands on it and I won't let him. Have any of you ever had this happen to your machine?
