Go look for another machine, 301, 201, FW, 15s. They work, and easy to repair. I forgot what machines you already have, but don't waste your time on that one.
I don't agree with Monica on this one. I love my 503a! I would rather use that machine for decorative stitches than my $7,000 Pfaff! It is a great machine and it really looks cool too! I use that 503a for all my decorative stitches now -- I love to do the little Patchabilities and Monthly Mini's. I put the appliques' on with a decorative stitch or use #8 cam -- don't get rid of that machine!
