Sewing Machine Services

Mechanical Sewing Machines

starting at $90

For modern, vintage or antique machines with no computer boards.

Exceptions: Viking 6000 series (service charges start at $120, additional charges may apply)

Please note:

Honesty and understanding are core to the Revival service philosophy. I will always walk you through the condition of your machine so you know what was done while it was enjoying care in the shop :)

Prices reflect a 30% discount as I complete my service technician certification. Currently, sewing machine services are limited to routine cleaning and maintenance and some minor repairs.

If your machine needs extra attention or repair beyond my ability, I will make my best effort to help you find the care you need to get sewing again!

Electronic & Computerized Sewing Machines

starting at $120

For machines with circuit or computer boards. Machines that have a needle up/down feature, thread cutter, start/stop button and/or LCD screen are in this category

Exceptions: I cannot provide service for Bernina "B" series machines, Viking Epic Series 1,2,3,4, 95Q or 97Q. These machines require dealer specific tools and expertise from an authorized repair shop.

Routine Service Includes:
  • Comprehensive intake inspection

  • Troubleshoot known issues

  • Detailed internal cleaning & lint removal

  • Lubrication of all key components

  • Timing check

  • Stitch test & tension balance with new needle and bobbin

Additional Care & Repair:

Routine service does not include

  • Parts Replacement

  • Repairs

  • Timing adjustments

If any of the above issues are encountered during a routine cleaning, I will contact you to discuss your options. If you choose to resolve the issue and I am able to perform the repair, an hourly labor fee of $30/hour will apply. Replacement parts will be quoted individually. I am unable to perform major repairs (i.e. feed systems, electronics, tension assemblies, gear replacements, etc.) at this time.
