That is the main reason I only quilt with one of my two straight stitch only machines. I have quilted several hundred quilts on them in the 10 years I have had them. They still are not dead.

Seems the fancy machines are not reliable and can't take the work load.

Marion, your machine looks great.

I have had my machine 8 years with not a single issue. I love my dreamy. Service it once a year sews like butter. I sew and quilt mostly with occassionally doing embroidery.

Out of curiousity how much quilting do you do? I sew 2-3 hours a day, and when I do FMQ, it's hardcore LOL lots of stippling, etc. that's how mine died!

I asked the dealer what is meant when someone said you killed the machine. She said that's what her repairman says when the motor is burned up, too much strain on the motor.
