You need a back up sewing machine! My 4 year old Pfaff, it's motherboard went out and the repair guy had to send for the part from China. Four months of waiting!?!?! If I didn't have my back-up machine I would have gone off the deep-end. My backup machine is my old Bernina 830. She is over 36 years old and still runing, and running and running and probably has a million miles on her. These so-called high tech machines aren't what they are cracked up to be.
