My wife's Husqvarna 6570 is in need of repair. We took it to a very qualified repair shop and the estimate was $200 CND to replace the "gear" . They said it was an uncommon repair and recommend to buy a new Huskystar for $600 and continued to say over time the entire machine would slowly break down and the nickels and dimes would add up to hundreds of dollars. Then my wife got upset when they said they would give her $47 for her broken 6570. I do agree that the sewing machine will slowly break down but my wife is really happy using it. Should I pay the $200 or could I repair it myself and save the $150 for future repairs. The women at the shop said ALL the husbands say the same thing and they think its like fixing a chainsaw. Yes, I can fix chainsaws but small delicate things don't worry me either. Next question- were do I get the parts? Thanks Andre
