Now one thing many of you do not know is the machines sold in Walmarts are not the same quality as the machines sold by dealers. When I was in business, Walmarts could not buy any machine that was sold to sewing machine dealers nor could a sewing machine dealer buy machines sold in Walmart or other similar stores. I no longer know what is done.
I called brothers and they said they don't make the machine any more and did not make the parts, they told me the year of the machine. I think they should, but the staff I talked to were not very knolegable about there sewing products. Penny
