this is the most exasperating story this week. I to, had a bad experience with a repair man. He comes to our LQS , picks up machines and cleans and goes thru for 40.00$ when I picked up my machine I did NOT examine it, but headed home,only to see that the bobbin winder was broken... just wiggled on the machine. I took it back to the LQS, they called the repair man, and he said bring it back. ok, so back to the LQS.. a mere 4 miles away. UGH... He took my machine back, then called me and said he was sorry but it was broken when he picked it up, OR it was broken after he delivered it back to the LQS... NOW,, if it was broken when he picked it up it must have happened at the LQS,,,right? OR if he delivered it back to the LQS he said they had probably let it fall from the shelf.... all in all, nobody was to blame.....??? He still charged me for the cleaning...but no bobbin winder... HOWEVER and this is the wonderful part. a dear person on this quilt board gave me her bobbin winder, plus many nice pcs. of fabric. I am so blessed, and it took the sting off my heart about my broken machine. I consider myself very fortunate to have so many wonderful persons on the quilt boards to be my friends.
