Description of Work: I bought a fairly high end, refurbished sewing machine from these folks many years ago. They were rude and unhelpful with questions. It broke about a year later when I was working on denim. When I brought it in for repair, the bobbin was out of sync with the needle, and they told me that it cost more than the sewing machine to fix it. |I decided to give them another chance a couple of years ago. The rude woman who ran the store was still there, and was rude and completely uninterested when I did not want to purchase a $1000 sewing machine. | |Unfortunately, I need to travel from Somerville to West Roxbury to Mr. sweeper and Vac for sewing equipment, but it is definitely worth the trouble!

It works as great now as it ever did!

The bobbin winder part of my sewing machine had suddenly stopped working and I wanted to find out how much it would cost to repair. The salesperson/owner? seemed to be very knowledgeable but fairly quickly told me the repair price of $189 which would be way more than the machine is worth. He strongly recommended that I buy a new machine (and possibly one of his used ones) all of which were more than i could afford.
Description of Work: Had them look at a broken sewing machine and provide diagnosis/estimate for repair

see above the fields you require about what year my home was built when the topic is a sweing machine purchase in another town are a bit not useful for Angies' purpose
Description of Work: I purchased/traded in a sweing machine. The salesman was knowledgable about and able to demonstrate the differences between machines. He could also answer questions about technology nad manufacturing processes and quality. I got the level of detail I wanted to make a decision and sensed he could give much more detail if I had wanted. The store employees were respectful of each other and customers when I overheard them in the background. A free lesson comes with the purchase. The store is very close to the Red Line T although I went for a repair I woulnd up buying a new machine; the service person/salesman was able to explain clearly what was wrong with my machine and what it would cost to repair. He did not pressure me to choose between repair and tradein.

I went into the store expecting to have to leave my machine for several days, if not a week. Instead, the gentleman working looked at it right away, discovered and fixed the problem, and didn't charge me! He also gave me advice on the best size/shape bobbin to use. I was in and out in 5 minutes, and thrilled to be taking my machine back with me.
Description of Work: Fixed a jammed (40+ year old) sewing machine.

Their prices are competitive with other sewing centers. They showed me features on my Kenmore sewing machine that I did not know about. They were very helpful and knowledgeable. They have convenient hours and are conveniently located. I recommend them.
Description of Work: They did a tune-up on my Kenmore sewing machine. The work took one week.
