OMG! We have the same problem here in El Paso. This guy says he specializes in Singers. I took my viking in to have him remove thread that got entangled inside. I left it and I didn't feel good about leaving it there. I went back 15 minutes later and they did not want to give it back. They had put it on the shelf. They wanted to charge me for doing nothing!! I left with my machine and $$.

My friend went there they sold her a broke machine.
They would not take the machine back. Thank goodness she had paid by credit card. This was before we new each other.

Took my Elna to Bernia dealer and when it got home the throat plate was not even, come on now, is this guy an idiot??? It went back with the message that I would not be paying any more $$$ to have it fixed.

I have a third generation repair man I can go to in Mooresville. He stopped what he was doing and took the time to look at my Featherweight for me. I wanted him to see it before I used it (got it for my birthday last year). He went back into his work area and came out with a plug to put on the machine when the machine is in the case. Plug was vintage as my machine is. No charge. Small hometown business. And he said I had a nice looking machine too.
