Machine servicing
Drop your machine at our Marrickville studio and we'll arrange servicing through our trusted repairer — the same person who keeps our studio machines running beautifully.
Sewing machines need regular servicing just like any piece of equipment. Even if yours seems to be working fine, a machine that hasn't been serviced in a while can develop tension issues, skipped stitches, or simply start fighting you — often at the worst possible moment mid-project.
We use Castillo Machine Repairs for all our own studio machines and can highly recommend them. You can drop your machine at our studio and we'll handle the rest.
