Sewing Machine Trade-In Option
1st Sewing Center does accept some trade-ins of older machines on a case-by-case basis, where the quoted value may be used against the quoted price of a new sewing machine. Traded-in sewing machines must be surrendered at time of purchase of a new sewing machine to receive the credit. Please note that not all older machines will be acceptable for trade-in. Please see a service technician or sales associate for details.
New Sewing Machine Owner Training
When you purchase a new sewing machine from 1st Sewing Center, you get personalized lessons on how to run your machine. We will teach you all the tips and tricks to make sure you run your machine like a pro. From winding a bobbin, to threading the machine, using the needle threader if available and cleaning and oiling it. You can rest assured that when you purchase a machine from us versus buying it online, we will make sure you know how to use it.Sewing Machine Tune-ups, Cleaning and Repairs
Don’t let lint and dust turn your sewing machine into an unused doorstop. All sewing machines need a good cleaning and tune-up to ensure that it gives you the best-looking stitch possible. We service and repair all brands of domestic home sewing machines, and you can have confidence that when you bring us your machine, we will clean, oil and adjust it, make sure the needle and hook timing is spot-on, and provide you with a test-sew sample so you can see that the work was done professionally. We repair onsite at each location with industry trained service professionals. Most repairs can be done within 7-10 business days unless there are special circumstances involved, which will be communicated to you in advance. We guarantee it.
