I bought this machine with the embroidery unit in 2007. It spent a few months in the shop not long after I bought it because of some problems. I haven't used it a lot. It was in the shop this time last year. That ended up costing me $200. A few weeks ago it decided to only sew in reverse. Just got the call from the shop $500+ to fix it !!
I still have my Pfaff 7510 from the late 1990's that works great. I use a Viking Mega Quilter for machine quilting.
I don't have the money to sink another $500 in the QD. I'm so upset. I didn't use it a lot for embroidery but wanted to get back into that.
I'm thinking I should just sell the accessories and embroidery cards I have for it and then sell the machine for parts.
