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.

Just for information purposes, only certified Bernina technicians should be given the work of caring for a Bernina. They are required to continually update their skills, on Berninas.
I heard that Moyes has bought the Bernina Dealership for this area. I haven’t heard yet if he has pursued it and done the repair training for servicing them.
Augusta Sewing Center is my favorite for Bernina. I also have Pfaff machines and am excited that Savannah Sews is selling and servicing Pfaff and Husquavara/Viking machines.
