Re: GRRRRR... What would you do?
My Singer serger is over 27 years old and until 6 months ago I never had an issue with it....then it started. Stitches weren't stitching correctly brought it in for a tune up and was told the timing was off. Got it back and 2 weeks later something else went wrong, completely unrelated to the first issue. The repair shop charges $70 every time to look/fix it without needed parts. I decided it was going to just keep nickle and diming me so I'm on a search for a new one. My dilemma is the new machines compared to my older Singer are so loud. My brother bought his wife that $1400 top of the line Husqvarna one that thing sounds like a train. I'm going to go test drive that Brother 1034D...it's getting good reviews.

I have the Brother machine and it is also LOUD. But it gets the job done.
Re: GRRRRR... What would you do?
The suggestion of a welding shop/fabricator is a good one. I recently had a problem with a broken leg on my x-mas tree stand. The tree is prelit and great, but the stand broke after only a year and I couldn't find a similar one. I duck taped it in 2013, but before I put it this year, I took it to town and asked a furniture store who might be able to repair it. To my surprise, they suggested a muffler shop because "he can fix any thing." He did fix it and wasn't going to even charge, but at my insistence, he took 10. You might try to find someone like that in your area.
