Terrible machine

This machine is so terrible, no one is really selling it any more. I have owned my Patchwork for 14 months and I had to take it the warranty shop TWICE for a new motor. I owned the machine for one month when the motor had to be replaced the first time. It took Singer THREE months to replace the motor. Then, in less than one year from the time the first motor was replaced, it now needs a second new motor. I am certainly glad this machine is no longer on the market.
I have been using the machine for approximately 7 months without a problem. Then it quit sewing. A message popped up (E7). There is nothing in the manual about trouble Codes . The website has nothing about trouble codes. So I am on the eternal hold(over an hour and I am now #5) just I can ask what is E7. Very frustrating!
This would be a nice little machine that does a lot of stitches if it weren't so gutless. I finally bought a Talent which can handle heavy materials with ease. I'll keep the Patchwork, but only to make the fancy stitches where needed or wanted. It has been a huge disappointment. It often throws error messages for no reason.
Bought this machine two months ago. I'm a professional seamstress with 40+ years of experience. First one broke after two days-could not change needle position horizontally. Returned to store, got a second Patchwork. Yesterday it stopped operating and flashed an error message E7. Nothing about it in the manual or on Singer website. Not a word. Packed it up today and returned to store. Bought a Brother. Singer was formerly a good choice. Not any longer.
This my 2nd macine like this. The first only lasted an hour or so... don't know why. This one is great so far! Haven't used all the features yet, but the ones I have are wonderful! The free arm is a plus as well. I am glad I bought it!
