joobee,
Last year my Viking Sapphire 875 did something similar, so while it was in the hospital; my Bernina 930, rode in on her white horse and saved the day! haha
I was in the middle of quilting and the Sapphire stuck her tongue out and said, "I'm a diva and not going to work today." The 1914 Singer 115 treadle got to help out too.
