Sewing machine woes...

Well today I took my machine to the shop to get it repaired.  Bad new over $100 to 200 to repair, good news it is repairable.  Looks like a gear broke.  He told me that to replace my machine it would cost more than $900.  So I guess under 200 is better than 900.  I must live under a little black cloud that likes to dump on me.
