I really feel your pain. Took my SE in 2 weeks ago for a good cleaning; unfortunately, the "doctor" found more wrong with her. I've probably called four times to check on her. LOL AND I have a back-up that should have been the one to be cleaned and worked on, but it had been so long since I had used it, I had forgotten about its problems (noisy, sometimes, and some bobbin tension problems). The part for mine has been ordered -- hope it's not much longer -- for either of us!!
