Great have both of my machine back and they are working great. The one was my mom's and is well over 50 years old.
Description of Work: Took my sewing machine in because it wasn't working and they were very fast and got it up and running in a few days, then I took my old machine in as the tension spring was put on wrong and they had that ready for me in 3 days.

Very reasonable and efficient. Love this place!
Description of Work: I made two visits. The first was because my sewing machine was jammed up. They made some repairs and adjustments, answered several questions I had about tension, etc., and did not charge me. They were very courteous. I returned a few weeks later and had a cleaning done.

When we picked up the machine, they had a sheet of everything they did and took the time to explain it. They basically cleaned and lubed everything. They commented on where there was fuzz that they cleaned out, where they lubed it, how dry a certain area was and how often to bring it in for service. Very thorough and very detailed in the explanation of work performed. They then tested the machine (with details of the needle and type of fabric they tested with) and showed us the test strips. My wife commented the sewing machine works the best it ever has. They also offered to have us bring in the machine and anyone in the family that was interested and they would do an hour training for the machine and how to use it for all of us that were interested for a very reasonable price. Would highly recommend Needle Essentials. Would give them and A+ if it were possible!
Description of Work: Cleaned and lubed Pfaff sewing machine. Told us it did not need a tuneup, just to be lubed.

They looked at our machine right away when we brought it in and gave a quote. Took a couple things apart and with just the visual was able to assure us that the parts looked good and all it needed was a cleaning, She advised us that it could take up to two weeks to do the work, but within 5 days called us back and said it was ready to go. Very, very pleased!
Description of Work: Cleaned our Sewing Machine which had stopped working due to wax build up.

Although parts are no longer available for this old machine, they did get it running like new. Owners are extremely helpful, kind, and knowledgeable. When the day comes that my old friend no longer works, I will definitely purchase a new machine at Electric Needle!

Description of Work: Took old sewing machine for repair -- got a call to tell me the broken internal part was not available. I bought a new machine, and got a very helpful tutorial re: its use. Also, I can go back any time for help or review of how to use the machine. Knowledgeable, professional people there to assist.

My sewing machine had been acting up (mess of bobbin thread on the bottom when I was sewing) for awhile and it finally got to the point where it had to be dealt with. I looked at google reviews and ended up trying the electric needle since it was the only shop that had good reviews consistently. Turns out it was a really good call. One of the workers sat down with me immediately and started asking questions to diagnose the problem. They were thoughtful questions, and even though they couldn't reproduce the problem there, he and Jen (the owner) kept looking for a cause. In the end, a tiny part of the bobbin casing was the culprit, and they bent the spring back for me. All in all, it couldn't have been a more pleasant experience.
Description of Work: Fixed my sewing machine (I was getting a mess of bobbin thread on the underside of anything I sewed). Since it was an easier fix, they didn't charge me for it. Even though the "easy" fix took 20 minutes to diagnose and involved fixing a minor part that had gone out of alignment.
