Incredibly helpful. Fit me in despite being booked up, and helped figure out the problem without charging me anything close to a fortune. Highly recommend!

Nice shop, could repair new or vintage sewing machines. Fabric prices were a little high, according to the wife.

These folks installed my long arm quilting machine and were the most professional, tidy, conscientious team I've ever worked with. They left the machine in pristine condition and also hauled away all the plastic. It was a pleasure to have them complete the install and I would absolutely recommend them for any job to which they aspire. I feel lucky to have had them on my project.

I have a Sears Kenmore machine that I have been using for over 45 years. I had never had it cleaned or repaired, and it was long overdue. Marc Chilianis did a wonderful job with my sewing machine - it runs more quietly and more efficiently than ever before. He kept his reasonable price as quoted, and took the time to call me and discuss what my concerns were. I think he did an excellent job, and I would recommend his services to anyone.
