I bought one at a garage sale not long ago. I can do minor repairs myself so I wasn't fretting but I couldn't make it work. Luckily one of my good friends does repairs and I had him look at it. He did fix it but he said in the repair industry the Touch & Sews are referred to as the Touch & Throws because they want to throw them out the window.
I don't use the machine. I pick them up when I see them for next to nothing and keep them to give away when someone says they need a machine. I did stitch it out once it was fixed and it had some pretty stitches on it. Someone will hopefully like it.
