I don't know if this machine was taken to Kyms for repair, but i would hope that all you ladies out there would not wait for this to happen, apart from making the machine work twice as hard, it is a fire hazzard. Please get your machine serviced at least every 12 months. Call Buderim's The Sewing Basket 54562110 for quote on prices. My mechanic services all types of machines, will give a quote to see if it is worth repairing. Stephen has been with the shop for at least 10 years and has provided an excellent service over this period of time.
