What kind of sewing machine do you have? That should make a difference in price. Prices in my area are outrageous. The cost of service for my computerized Elna 7300 was $169.00 plus tax with a two week turnaround. When I was at another local quilt/sew-vac store last summer I asked them what the cost would be to service one of my 15 clones. Quoted price was $125.00. That is when I decided that I would learn to do it myself.
