Update........

I still don't have my machine.  The couple who own the store where I bought it and where it will BE REPAIRED??? had to leave town suddenly because of a death in their family.  They are back, now, though, and he said he would try to let me know something toward the beginning of next week.  In the meantime, my daughter hasn't had a chance to send hers to me.  Hurricane Irene kind of got in the way of her being able to do much besides try to figure out how to survive three young daughters with no power and no water for 7 days, now!!!!!!  But, my friend has loaned me hers, so I'm going to be sewing today!!!!
