I had to get a different machine myself,and told was worth fixing old machine which was true when they told me the cost of fixing it. And after I was thinking about how many quilts and other items I had sewen with the machine
it did it's fair share work . so I can't complain about it at all.
Now days I think that the sewing machine need a mileage meter so we will actual rember how much we have put our sewing machines though.
