If I were going to write instructions on how to open a door, eventually I
would hand the instructions over to someone who had never opened a door to
verify that my instructions were, if anything, sufficient.
If I decided that I was an expert at opening doors, when I assumed that
my brilliant expertise was needed in other countries, I would get a
translation AND I would hand the translation to someone who had never opened
a door and only spoke that language.
Sounds pretty simple.
Back when I was gainfully employed, when I wrote instructions, my
first test was to hand them to somebody without a clue; learned from their
questions and tried again and again until it was right.
Today, I began the adventure of learning the Bernina 440 QE. No dealer.
No familiar faces for guidance. Just the manuals. @#$! How loverly it
would have been if the translator also sewed.
I have survived . . . but it didn't have to be so tedious. When will
the SM folks ever learn? Grumpy Polly

I think you should definitely let them know. Send them a letter
similar to this description. You are so right that they should do
better!

Don't you need a little vacation? There is a very nice Bernina dealer near
Louise and me.....we'd be glad to have you come visit and take some lessons
from them. I'm sure Louise and I could keep you from getting terribly
homesick. I could outfit one of the neighbor dogs to look like a gator.

Naaaah, Kathyl, I'll be okay. I just got some wonderful encouragement from
my sister who is also older than dirt.
She moaned that she received a new camera for Christmas, a new ipod for
her birthday and a new cell phone because it was time. Says she can't work
a @#$! one of them. How I love her. Polly
