I never felt anything when my older machines gave up the ghost. I just thought yippee! room for another one! I have several vintage Singers so I always have a working machine on hand.
I don't know of any new machine that has metal gears for under $1000. ?

Lara, I am so sorry to hear that your beloved sewing machine has gone to the great beyond...May she rest in piece...

Glad that you will be able to get a nice new one...

Mine did the same thing 2 years ago, unfortunately I was at a quilt retreat and it was a long drive home to get another. I now make sure I have a backup with me no matter where I am. So sorry to hear of it's kaputz. Have fun shopping for a new one.

This sounds like a good plan! Fortunately, what you have left to do on the quilt won't be difficult to learn on the new machine, so you can get that quilt done soon.
