Title: Blew up within first hour!
Product review: I've never sewn anything before and wanted to start sewing as a hobby. I researched extensively beforehand and decided this was the one I wanted to buy, both from the reviews here and independent articles. I live in Australia, so it was a bargain compared to other similar brother machines. The exact same machine here costs $600, so I was so happy to find it at this price.I ordered it on the 9th of May and received it on the 6th of June. I was so excited that the wait was worth it. Once i got it, i started sewing a jumper out of polar fleece material. Nothing fancy. I had just sewn on a sleeve and was pinning another when i heard a POP. SMOKE CAME OUT so I turned off my machine. Not sure what I should do, or who can even repair it, but I honestly cannot afford anything, since the cost to fix will probably be more than that of the machine. Can anyone tell me why it blew up??
