What We Do
Is your sewing machine running well? If not, call the sewing machine lady! Heidi will come to you, clean, tune, and service your machine at your location. She will get your machine running like new so you can keep sewing.
We specialize in servicing mechanical and vintage sewing machines. These old work-horses often out-preform new machines and are highly sought after by serious sewists. Our priority is to keep your current machine operating at its best for as long as possible, not to sell you a newer model. Regular maintenance will keep your machine running smoothly for many years to come.
Why service your machine?
Regular maintenance and servicing of your sewing machine is critical if it is to preform well and last for years to come. With proper care and maintenance, your machine can (and should) last a lifetime. At a minimum, you should clean and oil your machine as recommended in your user manual once for every 8 to 12 hours of sewing. A lint brush and bottle of clean machine oil are all you need. Remove the bobbin throat plate and dust out any accumulated lint with a brush. A drop of oil on the bobbin race will keep things running smoothly in between service appointments. We will review the oiling points for your particular machine with you at the end of our visit.
Have you lost the manual for your machine? Most machine manuals are available on line for free. If you need a copy of your machine manual, please let us know when you schedule your appointment and we will track down the appropriate manual for you. We will never charge you for PDF manuals, but there will be a nominal fee for printing and spiral binding if you need a physical copy.
