And I completely understand why they don't want to teach the customer. They need to make a living and I don't resent them for the lack of sharing. It could also have just been the repair guys in my area because several posts on the board have stated many technicians are willing to teach their customer's some basics. I understand how the American system works but I could not afford $85 every few months on a machine that wasn't heavily used.
On the other hand if I could have fixed the bobbin snot problem myself and only taken the machine in for a yearly tune up, I wouldn't have gotten into antique sewing machines which I can service myself and they'd be getting at least $85 a year for the tune ups.
Of course, then I wouldn't be here chatting with you fine people ;P
