A Few Words From Roy
Because our business was originally founded on
sewing machine repairs and maintenance, in the
days when fully rebuilding machines was necessary
as none were being made or imported for the home,
we specialise in the service side of the business. So
much so that our workshop alone is twice the size of
the whole area of most sewing machine shops. It is
also very well equipped and we have a properly set
up and organized spare parts department to cope
with the thousands of repairs we cover each
year.
Of the machines brought to us for repair there
are three main causes of problems. All machines
create fluff in use which solidifies to the stage where
machines begin to seize up. Second, many modern
sewing machines require special lubricants, and
using normal cheap 'sewing machine oil' on your
machine soon gives trouble. Third and most
damaging is your local cowboy advertising 'expert
repairs' and subjecting your pride and joy to the
tender mercies of his entire range of 3 screwdrivers,
one hammer and a large can of sewing machine oil.
(And his aunt Mary once showed him how to adjust
the tension!).
Since the demise of the clothing industry in the
U.K., there are no longer any serving apprenticeships
on sewing machine maintenance. All modern day
kids want to do is sit at computers and hope to make
a foryune without actually working.
Mind you, we shouldn't complain. Getting a
machine in that's been messed about by your local
cowboy, nearly always means a bigger repair bill
than normal, just to undo the butchery.
When you are in the area, you are welcome to
come in and have a quick tour around our workshop.
You'll soon see what we mean. And have a quick
gander at our classroom where we run various
courses all with our own computers and
sewing/overlocking/quilting machines. There's also
a machine dispensing free coffee, tea, soup, cold
drinks and gin, whisky and rum etc. True, we
sometimes run out of the gin etc.
