Sharon,

WM has to take something back even if it is past "their" warranty? I know when my Ipod messed up they would only take it back within 15 days, luckily it tore up th 14th day. After the 15th day I would have had to use my Apple warranty that is good for a year and send it to the manufacturer.

I can't believe the rep at Brother treated you like that. AND that you would have to pay the shipping when it is under warranty...by the time you pay that a few times....you'd be halfway to another machine. Okay..probably not that far but shipping is expensive.

I'm sorry you are having all of these troubles! Just remember, what goes around, comes around and those hateful *** people will get theirs....I guarantee it!

I came across this site about sewing machines being jammed and other helpful topics. I thought maybe you should check it out. It might have something useful and it might not.

Here is the sight for you, Miranda:

And here is a site that has all kinds of different topics about sewing machine trouble. It has the topics listed as soon as the page comes up:

Well, last week I sent the machine to WM with a friend without the reciept....they wanted to do an exchange, but the friends told them they wanted the money back. They were going to refund the money for the machine and had the manager up there at customer svc...Well, they almost gave them the money but found a couple things missing from the box...the 50 cent pair of scissors and the "bag" that covers it.

My washer tore up on 27th? of August, and we went to Summersville (45 minutes) to Lowe's (beside of WM) to get a new one in the MINIVAN I was driving. Yes, it fit, and I've told this story, but...the new one tore up! When I washed clothes, they came out smelling like hot, burning wires! I was so mad. We finally got the thing back over there today. We didn't buy the same kind this time. Mom just got one about a week ago, exactly like the one I had, and her's is fine. :? weird...

Oh, DH put new tires on our 4x4 truck that we traded up for Winter...and he torqued them the right way and all, but we ALMOST LOST A WHEEL SATURDAY EVENING! WE thought we were getting a flat at first!! He tightened the lug nuts back up, then torqued them again today!

Oh, life's little aggravations! I'm so glad I have all you on here to unload all this stuff onto. It helps just getting out sometimes. ;)



So, my digital camera is still acting weird. I think the internal battery is starting to get weak or something....I was trying to put it on charge yesterday, and dropped it about 5 feet from the hard floor!

NOw, my new side by side refrigerator, which is slightly over 2 years old, is messing with me. THe option to use crushed or cubed ice won't change from crushed back to cubed sometimes.

My cell phone won't charge. Where you plug the charger in is messed up! It hasn't been working right anyway. I've gotten calls that have never made it through. The callers never even got my voice mail!

I think the computer has a virus, too.

BUT....I hooked the Brother back up, and he's doing pretty good. I guess he thought he'd better straighten up bc I was seriously going to get rid of him! :evil:

My DH had his dr. appt. last Thursday. I made him go after he was in the ER and they "thought" he has Pluorisy. He's been feeling better the past week or so. THankfully! If/when it happens again, she/doc said he has to get a stress test.

My optomotrist appt. came out fine. My family dr. told me to go bc she thought the blood vessels were possibly pulling loose from the backs of my eyes. Thankfully they are NOT, and I'm not going blind...It's just migraines...(yeah, "JUST" migraines!)
DH went, too, and when he got his glasses back, the RX was WAY off! So, he's back in his old ones for now, until he gets the new ones back again.

Well, I sure hope the brother keeps going fine...it probably won't mess up again until the one year warranty runs out.

I'll let you know what breaks or tears up next...(and did I tell you I broke two of the "sticks" that opens/shuts the blinds in one day?! last week?) I'm on a roll!

Until next time.

The gremlins always find a way to put up whatever image they see fit. I don't usually get the pic up that I want. Be patient.
