It is so wonderful to have a protector. Hopefully the machine can be repaired. If not, you will adjust to your friend's model so just go for it. Every wedding must have a pitfall. Maybe your mishap is the pitfall and the wedding will go on beautifully, just like the person you are to everyone.

Murphy's Law! I'm so sorry this happened to you. I wish we lived closer---I would loan you one of my extra machines.

OMG, how stressful for you! Will keep you in my prayers. That would be overwhelming for me.

Thank goodness you were there!... I'm sorry to hear about your machine, but at least it didn't cause a fire that could have caused more damaged.

Oh no!! I'm so glad you were sitting there too! It's a good idea to have a backup machine.

Hope all will be well. Thank goodness for small wonders, it could of been a serious fire.

yes this happened to me with a singer and my dealer said the motor burn up im sooooo sorry be glad you were there i was when it happened hugs

It sounds as if you have plenty of work ahead. So glad you got it repaired quickly and cheaply.

Good thing you have another one available to use.
