Wow, I hope not. I've had machines repaired over the years and once the problem was repaired correctly, I didn't have another problem for many years.
I totally agree with SewBizGirl. When my Bernina goes into the shop, it can be there for a week or so. I just do my piecing on one of my old Singers. They dont' have all the fancy stitches the Bernina does but they keep my sewing right along. In fact, since I've been using them, they are now my favorites to piece on.
