This is what happened to me! I bought a computerized Viking Husqvarna and about 5- 6 years later its feed dogs quit working. I called everywhere and no one would even look at it. All repair guys said that it was not fixable. I tried to give it away... free to them to cannibal it (use it for parts) but no one would take it. I will never put that much money in a sewing machine again! Back to the mechanicals ... Singer from Walmart... very inexpensive. If it brakes, I'll dump it and buy another. So far, it has been a real workhorse and I'm a happy camper!
