New Machine
My mom took the old machine to her sewing machine guy to see what could be done about it. Apparently it would have cost about $200 to repair and there were no guarantees he could find the right part because the machine is over 30 years old. So my mom decided it was time for a new machine. She got a Janome 4030 QDC. She says that she likes the ones that they have at her school. It looks alright, but really, who can tell until you try it? Not set up yet, but I guess we'll see how it goes.
