I too live in the Kansas City area, and have shopped at Missouri Sewing Machine Company many times. They sell both new and re-conditioned machines ( trade in's ) and I have always found them to be very good with their prices!! I shop the store near the new Kaufman Center for the preforming arts building.....the neighborhood is a little scarey so I usualy take a friend!! Good luck......I sew/peice/quilt with a Brother 1500. New about 900 but you could find one taken in on trade for maybe half that amount. She only sews a straight stich but with almost 10 inches of throat space, she is a dream to free motion with!!

I sure hope you have some kind of little backup machine to use in the meantime. If not, maybe you can pick up an inexpensive older machine at a yardsale or on Craigslist to use. I'd hate to think you can't do any quilting at all. If I were close I'd loan you my backup machine...So sorry this happened. Good luck!

Ouch!!! I hope you can either get it back in working condition or you're able to get another one, even if it's an older model - if it works, then you'll be back in business. Good luck! and much sympathy for your loss. ps - did you happen to have a stash of chocolate to help you at this sad time of your life?

Me, too... but I'm laughing with you & not at you. At least you can make light of it to a degree. If it were my little Featherweight, I'd have to be tranquilized! I'm sorry your machine took a tumble. Maybe it was fate? The gods telling you it was time for a new machine?
