I'm frustrated

My sewing machine broke so my mom let me borrow one of hers. I go to cut my fabric and my scissors have Nick's all in the blades and need replaced (I've had them 20 years). I manage to make it work and set the machine up to sew. It will only sew backwards! So I get the book out and it says the feed mechanism is damaged and to take it for repair.
Looks like I'm using my daughters hello kitty machine to sew this project. I'm going to a sewing show Friday and I'm hoping to find a new machine then.
How disappointing.

That would make a great reality show though. Famous designers have to sew an evening gown or something using only a Hello kitty sewing machine. Kind of like Cutthroat kitchen. And they have to use taffeta in the design lol.

Lol at least it's more of a real machine just kid sized not one of those cheesy things.

My husband fixes sewing machines. He says take it apart enough so you can aim a hair dryer into the feed area and get it nice and hot with the hair dryer to see if you can get it so that it "breaks free."

I'd try it but I already gave it back to my mom. Thanks though.

Have you looked into renting a sewing machine for a few days so you can your project?

Crap, that sucks. I agree, it's time to go shopping for a new sewing machine!
