A well-made sewing machine should operate perfectly for many years -- if it's cared for, that is. Like cars, sewing machines do need some TLC in order to remain dependable. With proper care, all machines – sewing, embroidery, quilting or sergers (overlock machines) – will continue to operate beautifully.
Machines Need Regular Service
All sewing machines need a basic service check every 1 to 2 years. It's amazing the amount of lint that builds up inside your sewing machine where you never see it. Stray threads, dust, and lint from fabric, thread and batting can build up in your machine. With time, the debris can cause tension problems and even damage your machine. In addition, many modern sewing machines do not require oiling, which means this is done when the machine is serviced. Sewing machine oil is a very lightweight oil and it does evaporate over a period of years. Regular service means the oil is always fresh and the machine will run smoother for longer.
TIP: Do NOT used canned air on a sewing machine. The typical sewing machine has no outlet for the debris to be blown out. Instead, using canned air simply packs all the dirt, lint and stray threads deeper into the core of the machine. This can cause far more problems than it solves! If you want to clean out your machine between services, we recommend that you use the cleaning brush that comes with your machine or a mini vacuum with the attachment which removes the lint.
No Appointment Necessary
Bring in your machine any time during our regular business hours. No appointment is necessary. If your machine is acting up, tell us exactly what the machine is doing. If the technician determines the repair is going to cost more than $15 or $20 (over the basic service), the technician will call you directly to discuss options. When it's ready for pick-up, we'll call you.
Trade-Ins
Not every machine is worth the cost of repairing it. Sometimes, a machine simply can't be repaired because it's just too worn out or has a fundamental problem such as a cracked sewing arm. What to do?
PATCHES does take trade ins! The value of the trade-in varies depending on machine type and age. Imagine bringing in your old broken machine and getting a credit toward a brand new one!
