Vintage Singer Service

Ok, you have a wonderful vintage sewing machine, now what?


I got a vintage early 1950s Singer that functioned at an estate sale. The machine was in very good condition, and judging by the contents of the sale, I didn’t feel like the person was a big sewer. There was only one pattern for sale, and there was no fabric stash in sight.


I still felt hesitant to go head and use it. Surely it needs oil and belts? I wanted a service tech to look over it just to make sure it is ready to use.


I asked at area quilt shops if their service person would work on these old machines, and I happened to find a store in a nearby city that has a vintage specialty repair person come in once a month. Texas, we have a traveling Singer repairman!


I’ve just dropped my machine off at the store. They charge a base service fee, plus any parts needed.


I feel so much better about having the machine inspected by a pro! I know me and YouTube could have figured out a DIY, but I’m completely new to this, and I have no idea what to look for.


So ask around at your local sewing machine repair places if you are looking for help with your vintage machine.


Good luck!
