Our general service is a comprehensive "spa day" for your machine in which we will ensure all parts of the machine are functioning correctly.


A general service every one to two years is recommended to keep your machine in tip top shape for quality sewing! Yes, even if that machine has been untouched in the closet for 7 years, it needs that dry oil re-lubricated to perform well for you!

During our general services we do the following:

-Strip old oil and greases
-Disassemble and rebuild assemblies ensuring proper lubrication
-Reapplying new grease and oils in the correct places
-Reset needle bar height
-Reset hook to needle clearance
-Reset hook to need timing

-Reset looper positions (sergers)

-Oil embroidery units (if applicable to machine) 
-Balance upper and lower (or looper) tensions

And then of course our stitch outs test each portion of the machine to ensure your machine is stitching beautifully forward, reversed, sideways, wide, narrow, long, short, embroidering.......You name it!!!

Tips and Hints


Before packing up your machine to bring it in, try this first:
  1. Remove the thread (top and bottom).
  2. Put in a NEW needle.
  3. Carefully re-thread the machine ensuring the correct thread path.
Check your instruction book if your not sure about threading or how the needle goes in.

These are the first things we check here and it will save you time if that’s the problem!
We now service INDUSTRIAL MACHINES!
Bring your machine to our Reno location.
We must have the material your working on, bobbin, needle and thread with your machine at drop off.
