What’s Old is New Again

I picked up my sewing machine from your shop yesterday, after your positively excellent work?

I just thought of writing you this email to let you know that I tried my machine today, and to my surprise, I have to admit, it is even sewing better than when I just got it brand new 35 years ago. I remember I had problem with sewing some T shirt like material because it would skip, and to get a continuous line, I had to put paper underneath the material to prevent it from skipping. Today, I tried my machine with the same material and NO NEED FOR PAPER any more. It sewed beautifully. Thank you for encouraging me to keep my so called old machine, rather than spending another hundreds of dollars on a new machine which would not have been made as well as these old machines to begin with.

I thank you and appreciate your valuable service and extremely reasonable fees.

With very warm Regards, Vahideh

Thanks for the kind letter Vahideh!

As with all our customer, we value your business.

Bernina 830 Record – One of the Best Machines

The latest machine in for servicing and maintenance is the Bernina 830 Record – arguably one of the best sewing machine ever built. For the past few weeks, I have received a large number of the same model coming in for some tender loving care – an unusal event to have so many of the same model in at the same time.

First the multiple Singer Featherweight 221K 222K and now the Bernina 830.

One of the machines failed due to an after market part. I can’t stress enough the importance of using genuine parts.

Husqvarna Viking 2000 Stitch Selector seized. No longer able to select stitches.

This problem occurs when machine has been sitting for a long time, stitch selector has not been turned for a while, broken gear or dried grease due to lack of service. The proper way to resolve this problem is to remove the whole selector assembly. Remove and clean all gears and linkages. Assemble gears, linkages, adjust and grease.
