I do live in NM and had it happen to me. I took my mat out to the driveway and placed it on top of a poster board then put another poster board on top then put a large piece of metal sheeting on top. Within a couple of minutes my problem was fixed.

In reply to Charlotte Brumbach. I have Singer Stylist 7258 in aqua/beige. Love this machine. It's presently on Amazon for $229.99, which i think is what I paid for it. Has threader and bunch of stitches. On it. Loved it so much, I got daughter and granddaughter each one. Definately recommend.

In reply to Ginny Cole. Use your handheld hairdryer set on HI temp to focus on the warped area of your mat. Once the mat is pliable, put some heavy books on it to help “reset” the mat to its original shape!

In reply to Customer Service. A simple way to avoid having fabric sucked into your throat plate is to use a scrap of tissue paper to cover the opening in your throat plate. Put the tissue paper or scrap of pattern paper down, then put the fabric on top. You can even start your stitching on the tissue paper before going onto the fabric to back stitch. This will allow you to either back stitch. backstitch or use your machine’s Fix or Bullseye function. The tissue paper is easily removed. Once the stitching is done. Any residual that you can’t get well easily wash out when laundered. I teach this to my students. It comes in handy when you’re using. Very lightweight fabrics or lightweight nuts to avoid having that problem. It’s much easier than trying to tear the machine apart in order to get fabric out of the throat plate.
