I have a sewing machine repair lady in town. I just took my machine to her. But this is the last time I use her. She is extremely rude. She yelled at me in the store and when I called her to check on the machine she yelled at me again. I finally had to tell her to knock it off. I didn't appreciate her attitude. She also is very picky about what machines she will work on. My sister tried to take her machine there and the lady told her that she thought her machince was a piece of junk and she wouldn't work on it. So I will be finding a new repair place. Hope you all have better luck.
