Hopefully I won't be SOL. :(
It doesn't matter whether you purchased insurance or not - the seller must make good on the item that you purchased. eBay will side with you even if you were offered insurance and declined to purchase it.
That was very poor packing. :( How sad that such a cute little thing was destroyed like that. I'm glad it wasn't a really valuable sewing machine - heaven knows what kind of damage they could have done with that. :(
