A jammed, skipping, or dead sewing machine rarely needs replacing — it needs a technician who knows what they’re looking at. Most problems come down to timing, tension, a worn part, or years of lint and old oil seizing up the movement. A good tune-up brings a machine back to running better than the day you bought it, for a fraction of the cost of a new one — and vintage all-metal machines are often worth more than what’s on the shelf today.
Skipped stitches, jamming, tension problems, broken parts — diagnosed honestly before any work starts.
Full clean, oil, timing check, and adjustment back to factory spec so your machine runs like new.
Bringing Singers, Featherweights, and treadles back to life — a genuine specialty, not an afterthought.

Bunching on the underside is almost always a top-tension or threading issue, not a bobbin problem as it appears. It’s one of the most common things we fix and usually a quick adjustment.
