I bought a second machine as it was on sale and had a quilting foot included. I try to take my machine in yearly for a tune-up. The sewing machine shop I work with is really good about repairs. When I had to have a repair I was told 6 weeks. I said I can't have it gone that long. At that time I only had 1 machine and what was I going to do with a broken machine?? They are really nice and didn't mention that a broken machine could sit anywhere for 6 weeks. They put my name and number on the list and when my turn came they would call. They called and it was only in the shop for 24 hours. I have since bought 3 more machines, 2 0n sale and a machine that hooks onto a frame and works like a long arm. I haven't tried it since I am remodeling my family room to become a studio. I am still learning how to use a digital camera so hopefully there are pictures in the future
