We did same with Barbara’s machine a couple of years back – put off maintenance, kept forgetting. Wore the brushes so badly that it fried the motor. Motors not available any more – new machine………… $3,000
She wants to upgrade the embroidery machine…….. cheapest I’d ever let her buy was $7,000, the one we wanted? $9,900.
Needless to say, she’s still got the old one.
Quilting machine broke down – needle positioner died, so the needle up/down and thread cutter won’t work. (it still sews, but you have to lock stitches manually, etc.) Needs new circuit board – $300. I removed the old boards and am taking them in tonight because they are worth $75 toward new/reman boards.
I was asked by a local quilt shop that sells Pfaff sewing machines if I wanted to take over on their machine warranty and maintenance for them……….. LOL – maybe there’s some money in that! I do a lot of it anyway – I do all the maintenance on our quilting machine.
Man, don’t forget or space-off routine maintenance! Set yourself a reminder, whatever, just DO IT.
