The Stitcher Fixer Upper

Services

One service. One price. Everything your machine needs.

Most issues people run into — skipped stitches, tension drama, jammed bobbins, a machine that just doesn't sound right — come from the same underlying causes: built-up lint, dried lubricant, and small mechanical adjustments that have drifted over time. The standard service handles all of it.

What's included

Cleaning

A thorough internal cleaning of the bobbin area, feed dogs, tension assembly, and other places lint and dust accumulate. Machines run quieter and skip fewer stitches when they're actually clean inside.

Lubrication

The right lubricant on the right parts — and only those parts. Over-oiling causes its own problems; the wrong product is worse. Vintage machines especially benefit from this done correctly.

Adjustments

Mechanical adjustments and timing checks for the parts that drift out of spec with normal use. Small adjustments make a big difference in how the machine sounds and sews.

Basic troubleshooting

Most home-sewing frustrations come down to thread tension, threading issues, or bobbin problems. Standard service addresses all three — and you'll get tips to keep them from coming back.
