I am going to give him another chance to try and fix it. If he can make it run forward as well as it is running backwards I will be very happy :P

Okay, since it runs backwards when you try to sew can you use the reverse button and it goes forward. My DH is a fix it himself type of guy too, but not my sewing machines. He thinks it's okay to have a part left over.

It does run forwards if you push the reverse button. How funny is that. He must have put a belt on backwards.

How sweet, and the good news is you could probably get a new machine out of the deal if he can't reverse it.

Any ol' repairman can get it running again, but it takes REAL TALENT to get it to run backwards! LOL

Sounds like the kind of talent I'm blessed with...

my husband offered to fix my sewing machine once...I told him I'd kill him first, holding my shears in one hand and my rotary cutter in the other--just in case he thought I was kidding! (I wasn't!)
