I am an Independent Sewing Machine Service Apprentice Technician, which mean I do not work for a dealer of a particular brand like (Viking, Bernina, Necchi, etc...). Instead I work on all brands of any age; antique, vintage and most modern sewing machines. As a Sewing Machine Repair Technician, I specialize in diagnosing and fixing issues with sewing machines. From mechanical to electrical problems, I provide expert repair services to ensure optimal machine performance.

The short answer is, most everything you would probably need.

The long answer is, I can help you resolve:

• Machine does not turn on or power up.
• Bobbin or thread jamming issues.
• Uneven or skipped stitches.
• Tension problems or inconsistent stitching.
• Unusual noises or excessive vibration.
• Some error codes displayed on digital screens.

Beyond the issues already listed, I can also help with a wide range or additional sewing machine concerns, including:

• Needle breaking or bending issues.
• Feed dogs not move fabric properly.
• Presser foot pressure adjustments or malfunctions.
• Thread bunching or looping underneath fabric.
• Motor performance issues or weak power output.
• Belt wear, slipping, or replacement needs.
• Hook and bobbin case damage or misalignment.
• Stitch selector or mechanical control issues.
• General tune-ups to restore smooth, quiet operations.
• Deep cleaning to remove lint buildup in hard-to-reach areas.
• Lubrication and reconditioning of internal components.
• Preventative maintenance to improve longevity and performance.

If something isn't working quite right, there's a good chance I can diagnose and take care of it - or at least point you in the right direction.

That's a great question! It really depends on how often you use your machine and the types of materials you sew.

As a general guideline:

• If you sew 12 hours or less a month, servicing every 12-18 months is usually sufficient.
• If you sew daily for an hour or two, consider services every 9-12 months.
• If you rely on your machine for your livelihood, service every 3-6 months is recommended.
• If you frequently work with fluffy, furry or lint-heavy materials, it's best to have your machine serviced every few weeks/months. 
• If you plan to store your machine, it should be serviced beforehand to help prevent rust and deterioration.

Regular maintenance helps keep your machine running smoothly and extends it's lifespan.

Depends on the issue; repairs typically take anywhere from an hour to 2 weeks, depending on parts availability. I'm not a magician, but I promise to work my sewing machine repair magic as fast as I can.  

No, currently I do not, but hopefully in the future.
