of my Brother 770 for the past few days. I was right in the middle of making the Fairy Tale blocks from EmbLibrary when it siezed up and refused to go any further in the process. There is no Brother repairman here in my town so I was looking at having to drive all the way to Okla. City (about 2 hrs. away) to find someone to work on it. My daughter suggested I call the quilt shop in a town about 30 min. away and lo and behold they have a repairman in their shop and he works on Brother machines! And even better, he was all caught up on his work and had time to take on my machine right away! Even though it's supposed to be a machine that doesn't need oil, apparently it DOES! After tearing her all apart and oiling all her parts she is alive and well and purring like new! Today the sun is out and all is right in my world again! Oh, and FYI the fairy tale blocks are absolutely beautiful!

So glad this worked out for you. You'll be putting miles back on her before you know it. Glad you're up and running again and flowers for all!

That was a quick repair job. Got to love our kids ~ they come in handy sometimes with good ideas.

I have to check my manual as well because did not know it.

Good for you, I'm glad everything worked out. What else would you do with your time?

Wow, seriously? Oil? I checked my manual but mentions nothing of it so I assumed it's like my Janome sewing machine - greased by a service tech when it goes for a holiday. Hrm, might be time for me to take the outside off the machine and have a peek (I'm a DIY girl lol). I dont have the 770, mine is old.

So glad it was an easy fix for you (or rather for your baby)and that you're up-and-running again :D I pine for my machines while they're gone whether I've used them in the last 6 months or not lol. xXx

Happy you are up and running. Be sure to post your fairy tale blocks.

Good to be able to get quick service. Aren't daughters wonderful - coming up with suggestions for us instead of always the other way around!
Enjoy your now working machine!

thats what i been telling everyone the main shaft needs a drink or it won't run .I took mine apart and put pitures on here for people to see!! carolyn

Super! My Babylock dealer is about 1 1/2 hours away, but they make time for me to come and shop in the area while it's looked at. So great to have some immediate care, isn't it? Happy sewing. Hope you post the finished blocks. I have them, but have not made anything with them yet.

So glad everything came rigt for you. Enjoy your fixed machine. Think I must lug mine out and give oil too. Have not been able to work much lately.

Happy to know that your back on the road from recovery ;D *2U

Super - smart daughter - perhaps you might take pictures of your blocks and share them with us in PROJECTS.

Pleased that your story of woe has a happy ending.

So glad that you got it fixed and back quick.

Good to know about the oil. I have a brother also, will keep an eye on it.

Realy glad you got sorted out so fast, and that she is working propperly again. Enjoy.
Hugs and God bless.
