My repairman tends to laugh raucously, calls over his partner and repeats the story while I am still present. Hard to walk out with one's dignity intact in those circumstances. Good luck with that. Perhaps a little tute on care of sewing machines might fill in the time until it comes back home.

We managed to find a dropped overlocker screw yesterday by crawling around on the floor with a magnetic pincushion.
