HELP!

I was in the middle of sewing something for my friend's baby shower and my sewing machine died on me. I am afraid the motor is burnt out. It has been having a few problems like it had a short in the wiring, but I could always get it to start again. Now it won't do anything. I'm not much of an electrician, but I took it apart and I did find a faulty connection with one of the wires. I fixed that and crossed my fingers, but sill nothing. I might not survive...plus now I can't update this blog like I planned on because I can't show the finished product. Hopefully I will get it running again soon. I not only need to finish my gift, but I still have a blessing dress to sew while I have free time. ARGH!
