In today's economy it's critical to get the most you can for your spending dollar. So there's no sane reason to over pay for Stitch Wheel when there are large numbers of them for sale on eBay. Plus, eBay is one of the largest and most reliable online shopping sites in the modern world. This site is approved by eBay to help you find the Stitch Wheel you are hunting for and show them to you. If you don't see the Stitch Wheel you are shopping for below. Use the search feature on the right to find the style you want.
I realise this is probably just personal opinion territory but I honestly can't decide. I have a 12 stitch singer I am using to teach my 7 yo to sew. The hand wheel sticks and it needs repair. The shop quoted me $79 base price plus extra for repair if needed. I saw a new 12 stitch at Wal Mart for $89.00
Is it better to fix the machine I have or get a new one? ( Then what would I do with the old one I wonder?)
Depends on the current model. If it was a cheapie to begin with, you're likely not gaining anything by buying another cheapie -- spend the same amount for a good used machine and it's likely to be less frustrating.
If the machine is a decent older machine, I'd spend the money to fix it.
I do not have a high opinion of cheap, new sewing machines -- they're prone to all sorts of minor (and sometimes major) problems, repair parts are hard to come by or non-existant, and mostly, they're short-lived, frustrating machines.
