Am interested in all the remarks and find them interesting. I have a Husqvarna topaz 30 that is 3 1/2 yrs old and have had nothing but problems with it from day 1. It was even replaced once with a brand new one..mother board burned up. Have spent more money on repairs, that my husband wont even let me put another dime into it. Like was said when you pay thousands for a machine, it should LAST!!! I have Aa Singer that I bought when I turned 18 and I am now 78 and it has NEVER had a problem. My Topaz main problem is all of a sudden I have a "bird nest" on the back of my fabric. No amount of rethreading, etc fixes it. Has to go back to shop for another $100.00. I hate this machine and they will only give me $1000.00 trade in and I don't want another Husqvarna. So I feel for you and your pain when it doesn't sew.
