Machine servicing and repairs

Hi All,

During Saturdays’ class the conversation went to machine repair services within and/or near Savanah. Shortly after moving here in October, I read the ‘Penny Saver’ newspaper that so notoriously shows up on my laws and leaves the neighborhood so unsightly (in my area people don’t pick it up until its almost dissolved from the rain 😉 )…

I promised the ladies that I’ll post the repair service add I found in that paper and also provide the name and phone number of the place I took my machine to in Connecticut (I believe he still ships machines at the machine owners cost, of course).

The add I found is below. It seems this person started his businesses some time last year.

My Stitch Doctor, Statesboro, GA, 912-852-5283.   www.mystitchdoctor.com

they pick up and deliver!!!

 

 

The one I used in Connecticut (located in Danbury, CT) is called:

“A Stitch in Time”, Danbury, CT – 203-748-7283. The man that makes the repairs will not work on any machines that are not metal!! His father was a Singer dealership and Repair service and the son now does the repairs and as said he will only work on machines that are made of metal.  He has been preparing machines for over 40 years, starting as a teen in his father’s business. The repair guy’s bedside manners are a bit crude but he loves and treasures those machines. I cannot recall if he still ships machines (at the cost of the owner) but it is worth a try.

Antique quilt expert needed

Can anyone assist with this inquiry?

Subject: Person who knows about antique quilts

I would like to connect with a quilt expert in the Savannah area. I have access to a quilt from 1800s (?) and cannot find the pattern name. The owner doesn’t want to sell. He showed it to me and my interest is peaked since I have begun quilting. I will be in Savannah the weekend of the 19th and will have access to the quilt then.
Could you direct me to someone who would be interested in seeing the quilt?
Sincerely,
Carol Sheftall
