While your machine is in for repair will they check out your tension and make sure the machine is sewing OK?

Yes, I have a list of items to be checked by the repairman. e.g. tension, broken presser foot lifter, and automatic needle threader that only works sometimes. I am going to try and sew the pillow onto the quillow tomorrow, but since I have to manually lift up the presser foot while I slide the quilt under it (tricky, to say the least) and the bobbin tension is sometimes birdnesting, sometimes not, I may not get much done. Wish me luck!
