The pictures reminded me of the time my Pfaff machine quit working. I went out and bought a cheap Singer to sew on at the time. Then one day I decided to see if I could FIX it so I took off the bottom panel and low and behold a sewing machine needle was wedged between two metal posts on the computer panel. I removed the needle, put the bottom back on and it worked like a charm! The quote from the shop was that it was probably a control panel and would cost $400 for the part plus labor....glad I was able to fix it for $00. I ended up selling the machine for $1,100 to pay for another semester of college and continued to use the Singer until I got my first teaching job and bought the Bernina I use now!

Thanks to your son, husband, and pics, I now know what the inside of my machine looks like!

How long did yours last? I've had mine for about 6 months.

Looks interesting on the inside. Must say, I've not seen the inside of one of the newer ones. Hmmm! Thanks for sharing pictures. Looks like a neat father/son project.

Dorian, Thanks for letting me know what the inside of my machine looks like. I'm like you I can't complain if it quits working. I've already made 50 quilts with it. And it was a gift from my father-in-law before he passed away. That might be the only reason I would ever consider putting it in to get fixed.

FASCINATING!!!!!
My mother is a miniaturist and would probably make something out of some inside piece. She's always buying old electronics and taking them apart, but not a sewing machine (yet).

I used it for about 4 years. But, I made about a dozen Bow Tuck totes, using heavy fusible fleece. That really takes it's toll on a machine.
