Breaking things is part of the learning process. I've learned a lot over the years....
Things like that happen. I think it's great you have those kids out there helping you. They're learning a lot more than just how to fix sewing machines.
I'm actually impressed that Wilbur managed to break it. That takes more than just a little bit of effort. Too bad it was an embossed White though. I like the looks of those machines and the fact there's no decals to wear out on them.
