With my "extra time"?

So out of an effort to serve my husband and fulfill a request to mend his flight bag, it turned into this...........

My bobbin winder broke, so naturally I disassembled the machine and found the part in need of replacement and ordered it online, the bobbin tire. It seemed easy enough, right? Wrong........enough time elapsed that I had forgotten how to put it back together. I gave it my best guess and had 1 extra screw, never a good thing. So I swalled my pride and took it to the repair shop 2 weeks ago. They called today to let me know it was ready for pick up, I asked what the repairs and expense was and this is what he said. "Some one disassembled the bobbin winder and put it together wrong" I smiled behind the phone, he proceeded with "and someone took a screw out of the......(i forget somewhere)..... so i had to replace that, and it needed cleaned, so i did that also."

I think I should have just taken it there initially and I'd be paying for fewer repairs. Oops! Live and learn. Sleep deprived new mommies shouldn't take on mechanical projects, when keeping up with laundry proves to be a difficult task.
