Quick Fix Clinics


2 Upcoming sessions...see links below to schedule your appointment.

Got a sudden thread jam, erratic tension snarl,
or skipped stitches mid-project?
It's time to bring your machine for a Quick Fix!

Make an appointment, fill out a short form, then bring your machine to an upcoming
Quick Fix Clinic!

The Quick Fix is meant to diagnose, troubleshoot, and attempt to resolve mechanical issues quickly.
Your machine will not be fully cleaned or lubricated and not timing adjustments, chemical

Most machines will be fixed and ready to sew again with this service,
and we make every attempt to get you sewing again as quickly as possible.

(Quick Fix fee is a $49 + tax pre-paid, non-refundable fee due at machine drop-off.)
