This is NOT a repair, but basic electronic maintence. Your machine MUST BE STITICHING, although we realize it may not be stitching well.

When you call, please know your machine's make and model. Please plan to stay while it is worked on; we expect each service to be a maximum of 90 minutes. Please be on time and bring your machine, its power cord and foot control, as well as a bobbin, bobbin case and zig zag foot. In the off chance your machine needs additional service, your prepaid fee will be applied towards a full service and an estimate will be provided.
