Sew much work!
Keep your sewing machine running by maintaining and repairing it with Phoenix Fixes Sewing Machines.
Vintage & modern sewing machines (1950-present)
Two-week turnaround or less for most services
Based in South Minneapolis, serving the metro area
Please note that I do not service treadle, antique cast-iron, featherweight, or Bernina sewing machines.
Full service- $100
Service starts with cleaning and lubricating your sewing machine, followed by an assessment of all integral parts. When parts are needed, research is done, and the price of labor and parts will be emailed to you, including multiple options if they’re available.
Quick Fix- $50
A 30-minute session to diagnose, troubleshoot, and, when possible, resolve a sewing machine’s issues. If an issue is discovered that requires additional time, the $50 fee from this session will be applied toward further service.
Welcome to Your Sewing Machine Workshop-$100
An in-person, hour-long workshop introducing you to the basic operation of your sewing machine. Includes demonstration and guided practice for threading, bobbin winding, adjusting stitch length and width, and basic maintenance. Receive a $20 coupon for your next full service upon completion of this class.
