Biting the bullet

[susandennis]

So my machine will cost $175 to send it to the techs to fix. I paid $125 for it. The very nice - I mean really really nice - sewing machine store lady suggested I take it home and sew with it until it dies. Which may be sooner than later.

I looked around at other machines on my own and finally asked her to tell me about one that would be good for me. (I appreciated her not defaulting immediately to my spending money.) She showed me a couple of options and gave me her card. I came home and made a doll and realized that buying a new machine is probably the best idea.

Didn't you just buy that sewing machine?

You have a very good memory and yes. It was an impulse Black Friday purchase. Turns out, I should have done a bit more research before hitting BUY. BUT, it was way better than its predecessor and while it should have lasted longer, I knew a month or so ago that it probably would not. Live and learn.

That's sad! I hate that we as a society make so much straight to junk stuff. :(

As much as you sew you deserve a good machine...I love my old 830 Bernina eleven though all I use it for is hemming other people's pants...hah
