That's really too bad. If it were me I would write a letter to the Wal-mart
Manager and follow it up with a phone call.

I have found really good support from my local Wally World tech people.
I took a friends sewing machine in and the guy showed her how to do what
he did to repair the problem and how to prevent the problem from occuring
in the future. No charge. Maybe I'm just fortunate that I live just 6
blocks from the general office/headquarters for Wal-mart but all the
folks in our local wal-mart supercenter crafts department are
experienced, knowledgeable and very helpful. We have year round arts &
crafts fairs and lots of folks who live here are very active in all sorts
of crafts. That might have something to do with it.

Yes, I got a manual Now I have more needles (she came with a blunt
14!), I can sew with her, too! Makes a lovely stitch, but I need to
mop up a bit of over enthusiastic oiling on my part...

I've got half a dozen of those - and that doesn't include the others
that I've sold/ stripped for spares.

If anyone else wants one ...

Yes more great customer service this time of a non-quilty nature. Having
diabetes has proved quite a trial over the last six months or so. I have
been waking up with sugars which are quite high yet am not "hypo-ing"
overnight. What we've put it down to, was that my insulin doesn't last
the
full night. So there began a try it and see test. Finally (many $$)
later
we found an insulin that *seems* to be working. Yep you guessed it. As
at
the middle of this year they are no longer going to produce it. A better
insulin which does the same job will cost me over $100 a month -
completely
unaffordable. So my specialist says to buy up big on the current one.

To cut a long story short I also found that the makers of my Blood Glucose
Monitor are discontinuing the test strips, rendering a perfectly good
machine useless. However (and the point of my story is) I rang the
manufacturer to get some info on new machines and she asked why. "Because
you're not making the strips anymore". Suffice it to say, she informed me
I'm entitled to a replacement machine, worth about $100 with free lifetime
batteries and all at no charge - just give them the serial number of my
old
machine and I would have the new one in 10 days. It's here, in just 1
postal day (rang on friday got on monday!). Hows that for service?

So Roche Diagnostics in Castle Hill NSW - stand up and be proud - you guys
are legends!!

You may now go back to your scheduled programs

I was astounded - especially since I had never registered my original
monitor's warranty card (who cares about those things in your teens/20s?).
She back registered me and was simply fantastic. I tried the new tester
last night and ooooooooooh what bliss - 5 seconds it takes and can give me
averages over 7/14/21 days! Glory! Who knew these things could happen -
my first machine took 2 minutes!!!

Debra - I LOVE THE MACHINE!!!

I ran some test stitches on different fabrics, practiced the fancy
stitches, tried without the foot pedal (touch button stop/start) and I
am in love!!! I will not be getting rid of the Kenmore, but it is in
need of a major cleaning and overhaul as it hasn't seen a professional
since it was first bought...I've been cleaning it and everything, but I
always end up with the same 2 screws left over and I can't for the life
of me figure out where they go!!

Will post more later.........
