We have to travel 75 miles - not 300 but sometimes it seems like it... So, my two old pfaff's need a good cleaning and maybe in the spring when I will be outside and planting or cleaning up the yard... I can do without them.. I have an old kenmore in a cabinet but that one could use a service guy as well... but willhave to wait on that one..They are a dieing breed..I quess evenually as well as being quilters we will need to be sewing machine repair people....
