I just founda really nice shop, its about 30 miles away, but her costs are more reasonable than the guy in the nearest city.

Anyone else out there near Charlotte, he is from Indian Trails, but will pick up your machine. His name is Pete Wade
phone 704-361-0861.

Pete works on other machines, even Long Arm, but he specializes in Bernina.

My repairman lives with me - my husband. He can't fix computer-type things but I only have mechanical machines so that's no problem ....... ;o)

I have a Kenmore and take in it annually to the Sears Machine shop. They do a wonderful job and I am very happy with their service.

Now all I need is one of my sons to become a doctor or dentist and life will be perfect :-)

Can I ask where he took his class?

I am so lucky. In my area we have a sewing machine repair person who comes to your home. He has repaired all my machines which include Bernina , serger, less expensive machines and my longarm. His rates are very reasonable. Oh yes, he also restores treadle machines, He is worth his weight in gold.

My machine repairman is a Lady AND her son! She is a Pfaff dealer but her son works on vintage machines as well. Since they are both a LOT younger than I am I am sure I will always have them.

I have a great person that works on my sewing machine and my vacuum cleaner. They always get it back to me on time and never charge me ore thatn they tell me. If I have a project I am working on ( I only have one machine) they will do their best to rush for me.
