When a service is what you need, we offer a quick turnaround. If your sewing machine isn’t performing up to par or with “like new” quality, bring it to us at Tidewater Sew-Vac and we will take a look. Many times all that is needed is cleaning and service to get your machine up and running again. When your sewing machine has broken or worn parts and needs repair, we offer quick and free estimates on parts and labor. Our Service and repair experts will use the right parts to fix and repair all major brands.
Use bobbins made specifically for your machine and make sure your bobbin thread is wound tight and no loose threads are hanging. Clean the bobbin area frequently. Refer to manual for instructions.
Use the right needle for your project and change your needle every 3 to 4 hours of sewing or after every other project. The needle is the major culprit for most sewing problems.
Keep your machine covered when not using it. Household dust, lint and pet hair can enter your machine in one of it's many openings causing all types of problems. Keep your machine away from direct sunlight, high/low temperatures and humidity.
Do not use canned air on your machine or blow into your machine. The lint is just being pushed further into the machine and you are spraying moisture into your machine which can cause corrosion or damage your circuit boards

Use good quality thread.
DO NOT SEW OVER PINS! Your needle may break, you could damage the hook or pieces of the needle could fly up into your face
