Sun,
Thanks for the great info! I have also been a "tinkerer," but new technology in these machines makes me a bit shy about fooling around with them too much. (They aren't "my mother's Singer!" ) I've only gotten back to sewing recently after many years absence.
I couldn't be more pleased with the service and support of my Brother dealer in northern Virginia (closer to D.C.). I haven't had to use her much, just a glitch in the beginning with the PC8500D (probably caused by user ), which was taken care of quickly and much to my satisfaction.
I'm going to go to the Hus/Viking store I found sometime in the next few weeks, look around, ask questions and see what I find. I will ask if they have a service/repair option for machines not bought there, maybe some sort of contract one can buy.
I need to quit my day job, so I can spend more time with all this fun stuff! I got $150 worth of JoAnn's gift cards for Christmas....what to buy, what to buy!
