I'm so happy for you to get your machine fixed without having a big repair bill! That's a great Christmas present! Recently, I broke the screw off that you tighten to put in a new needle! The screw broke half in two. It only cost me $132.00 to get repaired and I was thankful about that because they said if he couldn't get the broken screw out, he would have to replace the whole arm-y thing the the needle holder is attached to and it would cost $400-500 dollars. So I think I was really blessed that it only cost $132.

Merry Christmas!!
