If your machine is a Featherweight, I’m jealous. If the cost of repair gets too crazy, try a Janome Gem Gold. Kens Sewing Center has them at a reasonable price. I’ve been quilting for about 20 years and switched from Kenmore to Janome. Could not be happier.

Thank you very very much for all the input. I was able to fix the glitch on my own with the help of a great website. Having fixed the first glitch I have found a second, so still may be hauling the machine off to Ferreira’s for repair. It is a brand new (to me) machine manufactured in the mid 60s that I bought for a song on Craigslist. I wanted one to keep at the cabin. No learning curve once I get it operating correctly. I am the original owner of one just like it at home. Okay, just gave away the fact that I am ancient!! Many thanks. Valerie
Dana referred my wife to the place Joe mentioned above. It is called Ferreira’s Central Vacuum and is located SOUTH of the intersection. The price for the repair was reasonable, but more important, he was able to repair the sewing machine after two others here in Fremont could not. Oh, and he did call us at the cabin and told us it was ready.
There is a sewing machine and vacuum shop on the west side of 49 (main st) just a little to the north of the junction of 4 and 49. They fixed Dana’s embroidery machine at a reasonable price though they forgot to give us a call when it was ready.
Does anyone know who might repair an old (vintage 1960s) Singer sewing machine? And to think I was planning to do some mending tonight before the machine had different ideas! Thank you for any input.
