Oh, woe is me. My old Singer Touchtronic 2001 from 1975 broke today. I also have my mom's machine, the exact same make and model, and it broke down recently, too....mine seems to be a bobbin problem; mom's sews perfectly, but only in reverse! I took them both in for repairs this afternoon, am anxiously awaiting estimates.

I admit I give my machines quite a workout but I also take good care of them. I am in the middle of huge projects - winter coats - and have to make a bridesmaid's dress for a dtr by February, and of course all the usual Christmas sewing. Alas, tonight I'm too bummed to do anything at all, so I'm just sitting here, sulking. I sure wish I was sewing....
