I agree. Computerized machines have the possibility of technological failings. I have an older computerized sewing/embroidery machine. Shortly after buying it used, the motherboard went. The place I took it to repair kindly replaced the motherboard for free($1000 part, I don't think they should of because I wasn't the original owner). It now needs a new motherboard, even after yearly maintenance, and hardly any time using it. It is too old to get the replacement part. I am tending to think mine is a lemon and am now considering upgrading.
