My old trusty Singer sewing machine sprung a spring in the bobbin area. I could not fix it, so I took it to a repair man. Thankfully they gave me an estimate before they went to work. They wanted over $180.00. That is more than what I paid for it. So I took it back. It was only to put a spring back in place! :cry:

I had a wonderful old Kenmore that needed to be tuned up. Unfortunately, it would have cost me over $100. I gave the machine to the Salvation Army and bought a new Janome.

I have two others but I loved this machine.

My guess would be because repairmen don't live on air and have bills to pay. They have building rent and utilities to pay plus since it's their only job they also have homes and cars and such to pay for. Life ain't cheap.

The trick to avoid all this is to 1) marry a sewing machine repair man or 2) hope your daughter marries one and you can get family, servicing benefits:>
|
that would be great!
|
I think you just need to find another repair man! Yes he may be supporting his family, but so are you.
|
You are right about going to another repair shop.
