After writing about my broken 33 year old Singer Sewing machine last week, I got so many responses and suggestions about how to get parts for it, I called my repair man John and let him know I might be able to find the part he needs to fix it.
A couple of people told me about machines like mine I could use for part on eBay and Margaret said her sewing machine repair man might have the part. A few people also suggested some repair shops close to where I live.
When I called John to tell him and find out exactly what part it is I need, he said he just got a sewing machine in his shop that he thinks he may be able to use to fix my machine.
I wasn’t planning on getting in touch with John again, I was letting go of it, leaving the fate of my sewing machine in his hands. But because of all the feedback I got from all of you, and my reminding him about it again, I think now, it may actually get fixed.
So thanks. It seems there’s a lot more people than I thought who understand the attachment we sewers have to our old sewing machines.
I have one exactly like that!!
Still working
Oh that’s good to hear. Maybe mine will too soon.
