Sewing Machine Service and Repairs?

[AnyDream]

Definitely send it for a service, they should have a fixed price for a regular service and then get them to ring you and quote if there are going to be any more repairs than that.

I had mine serviced by a guy working from his shed and it cost me $50. It was well worth it and i would pay more if i was gonna get the same results! It probably will cost more if you go to a business.

NOt 100% sure how they work their charging but i assume they have a set price and then pay for extra parts etc.

I think you can expect to pay between $90 & $110 for a full service. Then extra I guess if they need to replace/repair

eta - try giving it a good clean yourself. Pull it all apart & clean the fluff, threads etc. oil it. I usually take off the plates, take out teh bobin casing compartment bit & get atit all with a paint brush & the vacuum. Durt is all out & vacuum it up as you go. Then I take the casing around the light off so I have access to the needle shaft bit & clean & oil that.. See how you go.

This bit here is all one piece and it wont come off (that I can see) I think that is where a lot of my issues are too

Thanks for the help everyone Shall see what I can do and find
