Note: A new needle will be used for each service. This way we know the condition of the needle and correct adjustments can be made.

Please bring the regular zigzag pressure foot with your machine. Although we do have feet for many machines, we may not have feet for machines we do not carry. We will need the zigzag foot in order to test zigzag stitches.

When the repairs on your sewing machine are complete, you will go home with a fully repaired product. All the repairs performed by Findlay Sewing Center are guaranteed; we service all makes and models of Sewing and Embroidery Machines.

Tips:


1. Bobbin winder tension assembly. 

This should not be screwed down tight. The tension cup should be able to move and the screw is used to balance the thread fill on the bobbin.

2. Thread catching or breaking while sewing? Check your feed dogs. Broken feed dogs on top, good feed dogs on bottom.

3. Using canned air or a blower to clean out your sewing machine or serger is not recommended. The lint and debris that is blown away, from the hook area in your sewing machine or from the loopers and knives in your serger, does not leave your machine. Instead, it is blown into the machine. This lint collects on parts that can either rust due to moisture collecting in the lint or can cause wear on various parts. Thread cutters can jam up, sensors may not be able to function as they are covered in lint and debris.
