I'm so sorry. You may want to look at goodwill or thrift stores for another one.About 2 years ago my husband got me a machine at wal-mart, I really like it.This machine has some of the bells and whisles and it wasnt to pricey. At Christmas time they have a brother that only does straight stitch for around 50 to 60 dollars and a lady I know got one and loves it.That would be a better ideal than not sewing.This way you might be able to make some quilts and sale them to buy a better machine.Any way I do hope you get anpther machine>
