Why Regular Maintenance Matters
A well-maintained sewing machine not only lasts longer but also provides better stitch quality and fewer frustrating interruptions while you work. Over time, lint, dust, and thread buildup can affect performance, causing tension issues, skipped stitches, or even motor strain. Routine servicing helps prevent these problems and keeps your machine running smoothly.
We recommend bringing your machine in for service at least once a year if you use it regularly. If you’re sewing daily or working on large projects, more frequent tune-ups may be beneficial.
What to Expect During a Service Appointment
When you bring your machine to North Shore Quilting for service, our technicians will:
✅ Thoroughly clean and oil internal components to remove lint and dust buildup
✅ Check tension, timing, and feed dogs to ensure optimal stitch quality
✅ Inspect and adjust the motor, belts, and gears for smooth operation
✅ Replace worn-out parts, if needed (with customer approval)
✅ Test the machine to ensure it's running at peak performance
What to Bring for Your Sewing Machine Service Appointment:
✔ Your Sewing Machine – The main unit itself (no embroidery module unless service is needed for it).
✔ Power Cord & Foot Pedal – So we can test the machine properly.
✔ Standard Presser Foot – The basic foot used for straight stitching (typically the all-purpose or standard foot).
✔ Bobbin & Bobbin Case – The one you normally use with your machine.
✔ Thread You Use Regularly – This helps us test for tension and stitch quality with your usual setup.
✔ A Sample of Recent Stitching Issues (if applicable) – If you’re experiencing skipped stitches, tension problems, or other issues, bringing a fabric sample can help us diagnose the problem faster.
For Embroidery Machines:
✔ Embroidery Module & Hoop (only if you’re experiencing embroidery-specific issues).
✔ Embroidery Foot – If service is needed for embroidery functions.
