The 1600P is skipping stitched, so I can't use it for the actual quilting. Have changed needles, thread, dusted out and oiled them both. My usual repair man about 15 miles away has passed on from kidney failure and no one took over his shop. The closest machine repair is 90 minutes away. Not terrible but on a highway that is so busy that it frightens me to have to drive it. Guess I'll have to "pull my big girl pants up" and drive it next week. How far do you drive to have your machine fixed?
