    Sewing Machine Repairs and Service

    Either because you couldn't be bothered having it serviced regularly, or you've done something wrong to it or, it's just plain had enough of it all and conked out. Well look, it's not the end of the world because the Bamber Boys can nearly always fix a conked out sewing machine, it's what we've been doing since 1946 when Dad first came across a sewing machine on a bomb site in Salford. He repaired it and sold it and... well that's what we've being doing ever since. When we can't repair your sewing machine it's because it's so old we can no longer get the parts or we don't think it's worth spending your brass on it.

    So bring yours in at your own convenience, you don't need to make an appointment. Just try not to arrive at 9:03am because we like to have a cuppa when we get in and rub the sleep form our eyes before the onslaught begins. Also, please try not to arrive at 4:58pm because we've all got families too and they all want us home in time for a bath in front of the fire and supper.

    Loads of people, just like you, choose to send their precious Berninas etc. up to us here in Manchester to be expertly repaired and serviced. Every now and then we get a right herbert who thinks it's fine to place their lovely Bernina in an empty, thin-walled carboard box. Well, you can imagine the scene when we open the said, thin-walled empty cardboard box... So come on, always make sure your machine is well packed and totally immobilised inside some really sturdy packaging.

    A full service on a basic mechanical (that means you select stitches with knobs & dials and not push-button controls) sewing starts at £59.00 plus parts and vat. If you've got an electronic (push-button, remember) sewing machine then the price rises. And if you've got a top-end sewing and embroidery machine it will cost even more but, one thing you can be assured of, we will always phone you first with a totally free estimate.

    Taking a class or course is a good way to learn the basics of fixing sewing machines. Once you have that foundation in place, you can go on to learn about more complex sewing machine repairs. The best classes and courses will teach you how to repair many different types and models of sewing machines, the best tools for Sewing machine repair service, and even how to find free and cheap parts.

    If you use your sewing machine and/or overlocker, they will need to be serviced at regular intervals. This will vary depending on your sewing activity. For instance, patchwork and quilting is more taxing on your machine and therfore requires more frequent servicing. A service every 12-18 months is average; more often if you use your machines everyday.

    No appointment is necessary, you can bring your machines in anytime during business hours. Please bring along the foot control, bobbin case and the machines accessories so we can test all aspects of your machine's performance after servicing.
