Services

Minimum Service

Our minimum service charge is $45.

If you have an issue with your machine but do not want a full service, we can address the specific problem you ask us to look at with our minimum service. If your machine needs to be diagnosed and you're unsure if it requires a full service, we will diagnose it and contact you. We will let you know if it can be fixed with our minimum service, if we recommend a full service, or if parts/repair is needed.

Please note that our minimum service only covers minor issues - we do not clean, deeply oil, or perform repairs under this service. We will contact you before proceeding with any work beyond the minimum service.

Full Service

With our full-service package, we thoroughly inspect your machine inside and out. Our complete service includes a thorough diagnostic, deep cleaning, oiling, and inspection of all critical components such as tension, timing, bobbin winder, bobbin area, needle plate, gears, sensors, pins, motors, and more.

This full-service price does not cover the cost of any necessary part replacements, major de-seizure work, or repairs beyond a service.

Basic Sewing machine service $110

Electronic Sewing Machine Service & Serger $150

Embroidery Machine Service $180

Bernina Series 7 (specifically) $180

Long Arm & Industrial $150

Major Unsiezing

If you've pulled out your machine after an extended period of non-use and the handwheel is stiff or won't turn, this likely indicates your machine has seized up. Lack of proper maintenance and oiling can also cause this issue.

Minor unseizing is typically addressed as part of a full service, but major unseizing, which requires soaking the machine for hours to get it moving again, incurs an additional $149 charge. We recommend scheduling a full service in either case to properly unseal and restore your machine.

Parts, Repairs & Major Repairs

If your machine requires a replacement part, we will provide you with a quote that includes both the price of the part and the installation cost. Please note that this is separate from a full service. In the event that your machine needs repairs, we will offer a cost estimate prior to proceeding with the work.

For any major repairs, we will provide you with a detailed quote, which will include the cost of any necessary parts as well as a labor rate of $65 per hour.
