I'm not sure if I bent the shaft on my Viking Rose while repairing tie strings of a friends chair cushion or I just wore out my walking foot. I can't use my favorite sitch with the walking foot anyore without the needle hitting the metal of the foot as it goes side to side.

Took machine to repair shop and repairman said I bent the shaft on it, the timing is off and he would have to order some parts for it. I was trying to keep my fabric flat as I quilted instead of watching for safety pins. I have five quilts I need to quilt by xmas. Probably won't be done by then now. I really am upset about the whole thing. Has anyone else ever done anything like this?
