Good information on what to check on your sewing machine before taking it in to the shop.

(I once got lectured by a shop owner, after I brought my machine in for service, for buying a machine from "Wal-Mart" [note: it was from Target thankyouverymuch] because they're so shoddily made. No amount of explanation that I literally use it less than once a year so it's not worth dropping $500+ on a machine from a professional place made a dent. I'm certainly not taking my machine back there for fixing again, and I'm definitely not buying from them if I do decide to upgrade!)

Thank you for the link! I have to really clean out the lint with every bobbin-winding. I've got two machines -- a new one (electric buttons and everything) and a 1963 Singer. I'm working on a threading issue with the new one and pulled the old one out of 'retirement' and after some cleaning up, it worked perfectly. I'm going to go through this advice and see if I can't get the new one working right again.
