I'll have to see if I can even afford the $100 for a cheapie. I'm going to go to the thrift store today and ask a neighbor if they have a machine I can borrow.
It's so frustrating!

Have you tried asking the dealer if you can borrow a machine while yours is fixed. Dealers usually have used machines setting around . . . would be good customer service if they would agree to a loaner. Best of luck to you!

The best idea is to give them a photo and let them know it will be coming as soon as your machine is repaired.
Trust me, they will understand and the gift will be even more appreciated after the hub bub of Chirstmas has died down.

Anyway to try and fix the tension issues on the other machine ?
Even though it seems it is locking up on the mechanicals the problem can still be in the bobbin area. I am fixing a machine that the bobbin area froze up from old grease and nothing on the machine would move. You would be surprised what can happen with a stray thread.
Try rethreading the machine- a new wound bobbin - new needle and clean the bobbin are
