I understand the bond you have with your sewing machine because I sew, too.


I apply care and quality services to all the sewing machines that grace my workbench.

Maintenance & minor repairs of vintage & new sewing machines (1960 to present)

Currently, I’m working towards becoming a certified sewing machine maintenance and repair technician through the Sewing Docs Academy. This program teaches me to provide top-quality service to most sewing machine models, including new models with computer components.

I offer the following:

  • Test sewing — before and after calibration.

    Thread tension testing and adjustment, if necessary.

    Cleaning of the cover.

    Removal of lint and debris.

    Lubrication.

    Timing inspection.

    Audit of all integral parts.

  • Contact me for requests

  • Pickup of unwanted sewing machines in any condition (manufactured in the 1960s through the present day)

    Reburbishing and selling

    Donating working machines to local charities

My Process

Intake

  • Quick interview to understand your machine’s condition

  • Photos inventorying all parts included in drop-off as well as all sides of machine to document condition

Model-Specific Manual Review

  • Review threading and basic functions

  • Note correct bobbin type and check if correct bobbin is in machine

  • Perform sew test if possible

Assessment

  • Assess knob and lever functionality

  • Assess all moving parts (joints, gears, etc.)

  • Report to customer any identified issues and a recommended course of action

Cleaning & Lubrication

  • Clean case, covers, and bed

  • Remove lint and debris from inside of machine

  • Remove old oil, hardened grease, and other substances

  • Lubricate joins and gears
