I would go right back and insist on a replacement cover for the mutilated one and also I'd complain about their lack of attention in leaving your machine as clean as when you dropped it off. There is no reason for that!! Put on your spikey dog collar and go get 'em!!

I took an old Sears Kenmore to a dealer once to be maintenanced/cleaned. He called me up and LITERALLY told me my machine was a piece of crap, not worth repairing and he would just "go ahead and throw it out" for me and we could talk about purchasing a new Baby-lock. I actually had to argue with him to get the machine back, he was so adamant to throw it out. This machine works fine other than occasionally getting confused about what thread is for....I still love it though. It was my first machine. Sorry your dealer was sucky too. ;)

Good ideas here regarding if this indeed your machine. If it is, I would have them replace the throat plate. With six holes in it, there will be much more lint collecting inside your machine and it could present problems down the road.

I am so sorry to read about your problems with your machine. I am lucky to have a very good man to do the work. He not only cleans the machines, but replaced the old needle and the light bulb and checked all the wiring and the foot pedal to make sure it worked good. All this for just taking it in to be cleaned and I wasn;t charged for any thing other then clean and lube. Very good service and very reasonable. There are still some good honest service people left in our world.
