Yep mine has lasted 6 months, sorry I know BIG bummer. So I go to my regular quilt shop and look at things I have been doing this the last 4 months and now I'm getting my groove back on and things are looking up. Just started finishing up a quilt that has been on the back burner. Picked up and finished a wall hanging and now Christmas stuff is in the making. Hang in there, it does return and with a vengeance. Now to figure out exactly what all my new machine can do.
