Our Mission: Save Vintage Machines

We primarily do maintenance and repair on older, more manual sewing machines; the older, the better. We want to help you save your old machine instead of you having to purchase a new machine to replace it.

Machine Service

Our routine maintenance includes removing the covers of the machine, cleaning and lubricating the internal components and making minor adjustments as needed. Our service fees vary by models, with vintage models being cheaper modern machines. Call for pricing on your specific model.

Exterior cleaning cost between $10 and $25, depending on the amount of cleaning required.

The recommended frequency for having your machine serviced depends on how much the machine is used, the type of fabric and the type of thread used. How/where a machine is stored can also have an affect on how often it needs to be cleaned. 

Machine Repairs

We perform basic machine repairs such as tension adjustments, stuck or frozen parts, bobbin issues or electrical connection problems. We charge a $30 drop-off fee for each machine to determine the repair needed. That fee will be applied to the labor cost of the repair.

Electronic
We do not work on the electronic components on newer machines. As independent technicians, we are not associated with any particular brand. That allows us to work on any brand but also means that we are not authorized to do warranty repairs and cannot get most of the electronic parts from the manufacturer.

Lower end models
Often, we are limited on the services we can perform on models like the Singer Heavy Duty. These machines are simply not made to be serviced. We can usually clean them but most interal parts are not available or would be too expensive to replace.

Gears
We do not do gear replacements, regardless of the model. The labor costs required to replace gears will usually exceed the value of the machine. 

Modern machines
Unfortunately, we are unable to service some machine brands because of proprietary rules. We cannot service any Bernina machines unless they are vintage (pre-electronic).

Dirty Machines

Here are some examples of how dirty a machine may be under the covers. Lint that is left in a machine will absorb the lubricants and get into the gears, keeping the machine from working properly.
