My old Kenmore could sew through wood, but I replaced it with one not so heavy - My Pfaff is great by too big to take for classes and now i have a janome and love it. So glad you got yours fixed. I do so hate repairmen who take advantage and charge exorbitant prices.

j have mentioned on hear before, but i took my Janome 9000 to get it looked at because it would speed up on its own and keep sewing even after i took my foot off the pedal. he told me it needed a new motor. long story short, it cost me $189 and it didnt fix the problem. the next year -it was still doing the posessed thing- he told me it needed some sensor and it would be very expensive. anyway i found out it was the footpedal and DH cleaned the dust and cat hair out of it. i contacted Janome about problems with the motor-they'd never heard of a problem with the motor. when i bought a new Janome i didnt go there. i also tell people not to go there too.

I have a older Viking that I bought about 20 yrs ago. It stopped working and I took it to a repair place. Told me it would cost 350.00 to fix it and why don't I trade it in on another machine. I took my machine home and waited. Found a yahoo group for Viking machines that helped me fix it myself.
Saved 350 and learned a lot. And ya know I haven't used it since and am thinking about selling it. lol I got my new Brother and some Singer Slants and my Household.

I have a little hint for you...put the repair ticket into a ziploc snack bag and tape to the bottom of the machine. You will always know where to find it. Re: the current repair ticket???your guess is as good as mine......

I have not had to have mine repaired yet, but afraid if it did break down please knock on wood, it would have to stay that way. Penny

Just a funny note. I have a Elna serger and had to take it in for service. I have my Singer and Brother machines that sits on the table as well. They are plugged into a power strip serge protector. When I brought the serger home and pluged it up, I accidently picked up the Singer power cord and plugged it in. It came on sewing! I was furious with the repair man. I thought I just spent my hard earned money to have this thing fixed and it is worst than when I took it in. It would sew great but, I had to turn to power source off to get it to stop sewing! I took it off the table and ready to take back to the shop the next day. That is when I discovered I had it plugged up with the wrong power cord!! Talking about LOL!!!

It seems most people and business is so money hungry they will do anything to get a buck. In tough times is when the worst in people come out, it's always there just hidden. The good people are still out there just a little harder to find. I would never buy anything from someone trying to take advantage of me. There is a sew and vac around me that is crooked and I would never buy a machine from them.
