Smaller Machine: $125

These are a smaller, simpler sewing machine that have no computerized components, and your buttonhole is a 4-step.  Your bobbin is tucked behind a drop-down cover at the front and is most commonly purchased from Spotlight or Lincraft.

Have a Lotus? You’ll be an Standard Size Service.

Standard Size: $150-$170

This is a standard sized, everyday type of machine, with or without computerized stitch selections. You might be able to see your bobbin through your needle-plate and you may have some pretty decorative stitches.

Bigger Machine: $170-$200

This machine is more powerful than the average, usually with a wider sewing space, extra quilter’s favourite functions, and heavier to lift.  You may have a built-in even feed system or often use a walking foot, and your LCD screen is usually larger and often is a touch screen.

If you’re machine also has an embroidery hoop, you’ll be a Combo Machine service.

Combination Machine: $225-$255

This machine is the combination – sewing and machine embroidery functions.  It will have an embroidery arm, an embroidery hoop, and uses Wi-Fi, memory cards, or a USB stick to load designs. Please remember to pack your hoop!

Overlocker Up to 4 Thread: $170

This is a service for an overlocker with up to 4 threads. Your overlocker’s main function is to stitch seams, and has a knife to neatly trim fabric as it sews.

Combination Overlocker: $185

Looks like and overlocker, but with an extra spools of thread, this is a 5 to 8 thread combination overlocker and coverstitch machine that can sew seams and then chain-stitch stretch fabric hems. Also applies to Janome Combi models.

Coverstitch Machine: $170

This machine is a side-kick to your overlocker. Your coverstitch machine will only do chain-stitching and hemming, and has no cutting blades.

Embroidery Only Machine: $185

Looks like an embroiderer’s sewing machine, but this one doesn’t do any sewing other than embroidery in the hoop.  Typically, yours is a single-needle machine, has no foot control, and uses memory cards or a USB stick to load designs. This does not include freestanding or multi needle machines.

Tweak or Inspect: $25-$75

Had a little hic-cup, but you don’t think that you need a service?  Book your machine in for an inspection and we will undertake the repair within the window of $25 to $75. Should the work exceed this, we’ll contact you to talk about what you’d like to do – no surprises.  This also includes insurance quotes.

General Info About Our Servicing

Turn-around is usually 5 weeks. We understand that you are going to miss your machine while it is here with us, and we’ll strive to get it back to you as soon as possible.  If you find yourself needing to keep on sewing, we are happy to offer you a courtesy machine for booked services at no charge (where available). Using our Book & Sew service will reduce the amount of time you will be without your machine.

Pre book with Book & Sew - this option lets you keep sewing right up until just about the day of your service. Simply book your machine in for its service with a $25 deposit HERE (or with an easy phone call: 0417 649 685) and we'll then pop your booking in the queue. When your turn getting close, we'll give you a call to bring your machine in, and then you'll only be without it for a few days.

Or...Just pop in – drop in with your sewing machine for its service, and pack some accessories (Click HERE for a list of what you’ll need).  We are open 9am – Noon Tuesday to Saturday or by appointment outside of these hours if needed. When you arrive, we can carry your machine from your car if you need us to.

About our $30 – when booking we always allow an extra $30 window for small parts or extra labour that we may discover that you need during the course of your service.  Anything greater than this additional amount and we will call you first, because we believe that you should always know what your repair will cost BEFORE the work is done.

We ask for a $25 deposit for all bookings, and this will come off of the price of your service or repair once completed.  Sometimes your repair estimate may be much higher than is cost effective, or your machine may be beyond a repair.  In this instances, your deposit will be used to cover the cost of inspecting and testing your machine.

We no longer service Husqvarna VIKING and Pfaff machines. It's in the best interest of our customers that these models are serviced by an agent that has access to parts. For your Husqvarna VIKING or Pfaff please contact B'Creative at the Sunshine Coast HERE. If you are unsure about your sewing machine, please feel free to contact us before booking: 0417 649 685. If we are unable to help you, we will happily direct you to someone who can.

 

An important disclaimer that we are proud to make: the repair or servicing of some late models of sewing machines by Husqvarna VIKING, Pfaff and Bernina, should only be done by a technician who is a certified sales agent of these models. Because we are not reseller of these brands we don’t have this certification. We pride ourselves on our integrity and adhere to this policy within the industry. This means that there are a handful of models that we don’t service.
