Sewing Machine Services
In addition to the normal maintenance a sewist performs on their machine, sewing machines need additional servicing. A properly serviced machine runs safely, lasts longer and breaks down less often.
What to Bring to Your Appointment
When dropping off your machine, please be sure to include:
The thread and bobbin you were using (especially if there was an issue)
A standard zigzag presser foot
The foot pedal and power cord
Any specialty accessories related to the issue (if needed)
These items help me fully test your machine and make accurate adjustments.
