Classes that I teach often, include:


Machine behaving badly?

If you have a sewing machine in need of expert maintenance service or repair, please contact me. I work with all brands of mechanical sewing machines.

The only brand of computerized sewing machine I trouble-shoot and repair is Bernina.

That old machine your mom had when she was six years old can hum like the day it was made with just a short visit to the Bobbindoctor. Broken or missing parts aren't a problem since most are replaceable. Don't you wish we could be kept in shape so easily?


Wary of those new touch-screens and computerized machines?

No problem, you can sew like a pro on an affordable, time-tested classic. If you're looking for a vintage mechanical sewing machine for purchase, I usually have nearly 100 available, many of which are considered collectible.

There was a time before computers, when a sewing machine was built like a tank with little or no plastic. Well, they're still here and I sew on them all the time! Built in the days of high-quality metal craftsmanship, these machines are sturdy and dependable tools for quilting, garment construction and repairs. They just don't make 'em that way any more.

A vintage mechanical is great as a beginner's first machine. Many of them are examples of classic industrial design and will double as "retro-art" when they're not buried under your quilting stash.

And remember - if your vintage mechanical ever fails you completely, it'll still make a great boat anchor! But who could ever toss a little beauty like one of these off a boat?

Thanks for visiting!
