Sewing Machine problems we fix every day
Sewing machine skipping stitches
After ruling out a bent or wrong-size needle, skipped stitches usually mean the hook timing has drifted: the hook no longer meets the needle at the right moment, often after a hard thread jam. It is the classic Singer failure. A timing reset is bench work, typically $90 to $160, and it also catches a burred hook or needle plate before they shred thread.
Thread bunching or nesting under the fabric
The bird's nest on the underside is almost never the bobbin's fault; it points to upper thread tension: a worn tension assembly, thread out of the take-up lever, or a damaged bobbin case. Brother machines in particular wear the tension discs and feed components with heavy use. Tension assembly or bobbin case replacement usually runs $80 to $150.
Machine not feeding fabric
Feed dogs that will not rise usually trace to a dropped feed-dog lever, lint packed solid under the needle plate, or a cracked feed gear, common on machines that sat unused for years. Cleaning and adjustment fixes many cases; a feed gear or feed dog replacement is a bench repair in the $100 to $200 range.
Motor runs but the needle won't move
That is a broken motor belt, a sheared handwheel clutch, or on older machines a nylon drive gear that finally cracked. Janome models commonly need belts as they age. Belts are inexpensive; internal gear sets cost more in labor because the machine comes fully apart.
Computerized machine showing errors or dead screen
Computerized and embroidery machines fail through the main PCB, the LCD, or a stepper motor that positions the needle or hoop, and a machine that powers on but throws immediate errors is usually a board or sensor issue. Board-level repairs vary widely by model, so we quote after diagnosis rather than guessing; on a $2,000-plus embroidery machine they are nearly always worth doing.
Serger stitches loose or looping
Loose, loopy overlock stitches usually mean the loopers are out of time with the needles or the tension assemblies have worn, which shows up on high-speed machines like Jukis. A serger timing and tension service runs $100 to $180 and includes setting the looper clearances, work that really cannot be done by eye at home.

Repair or replace your sewing machine?
Match the repair to the machine's replacement cost. A full service with timing runs $90 to $180 and most part repairs stay under $250, so a Bernina, Juki, or mid-range Janome that cost $800 to $5,000 new is worth servicing indefinitely; well-built machines run for decades. A $150 big-box machine is the exception: one timing job approaches its price, so replacement is often smarter. The tipping failures are a cracked frame or a dead main board on an entry-level computerized model where the board alone outprices the machine.

Sewing Machine repair FAQ
How much does sewing machine repair cost?
A standard service (cleaning, oiling, tension balancing, timing check) runs $90 to $180, and most part repairs stay between $80 and $250. Computerized board repairs on embroidery machines are quoted after diagnosis because prices vary sharply by model.
How long does a sewing machine repair take?
Plan on a few days to a week, since sewing machines are bench-serviced rather than fixed in the kitchen: they need to be opened, cleaned, adjusted, and test-sewn on real fabric. Simple belt or bobbin case jobs often turn around faster.
Is my old mechanical machine worth fixing?
Almost always. All-metal mechanical machines from Singer, Bernina, and Janome were built to be serviced and routinely outlast modern entry-level machines; a $120 tune-up on one is money well spent. The exception is a machine with a cracked plastic frame or an unobtainable proprietary part.
My machine is skipping stitches. Anything to try before bringing it in?
Put in a brand-new needle of the right type and size for your fabric, and rethread both the top thread and bobbin from scratch with the presser foot up. A dull or slightly bent needle causes most skipped stitches; if a fresh needle does not cure it, the hook timing needs a technician.
Do you work on sergers and embroidery machines?
Yes: household machines, sergers, and embroidery machines, both mechanical and computerized, across Brother, Singer, Janome, Juki, Bernina, and most other brands. Sergers mostly need looper timing and tension work; embroidery machines add hoop drives, stepper motors, and electronics to the list.
