Domestic Sewing Machine

It will receive a full clean and degrease, a 30 point check, and you will be advised on any items that need attention. We offer free quotes on repairs.

We cover all types of embroidery machine, from single needle home embroidery, to the more professional multi-needle models. As with all our services, you will receive a full and thorough clean and lubrication, with a comprehensive check of all of the key components including visual checks of electrical connections and PCB's where applicable.
