Machine Service
& Repair Tips

Bolts in the Bathtub offers machine repair services.  General servicing (includes cleaning, oiling and timing adjustments) costs $80.00, plus any parts. Estimates will be given for more serious problems. Call 945-5541 to schedule an appointment.

Save yourself a trip with these tips before you bring your machine in for Service and Repair

Troubleshooting

Skipped Stitches usually caused by a dull or burred needle: try replacing it. Make sure the needle is fully inserted.

Loops on the bottom of the fabric thread may not be seated in the tension disks. Rethread the machine, making sure the presser foot is up.

Other stitch quality issues the bobbin may be in backwards or the machine may be threaded incorrectly. Try rethreading both the top thread and the bobbin.

Check List
When you bring your machine in for servicing, please try to do the following to help you get your machine back sooner:

Ö Have your bobbin case in the machine and both a zigzag foot and a zigzag throat plate installed.

Ö  The tension can't be balanced without your bobbin case and the zigzag stitch always needs to be checked, too.

Ö  Bring the machine in its case, along with its foot pedal and power cord. We have these items for current machines but not for older models. It's a good idea to put an address label on all of these parts.

Ö Do not bring accessories, unless you are having a problem related to one of them.

Ö If you are experiencing a problem, bring along a sample of the fabric and thread you are using. Sometimes, we can diagnose and correct the problem on the spot.


Another Favor from Fern!
Favor #128

If you find that fabric you
“just have to have”,
BUY IT.
Because it won’t be there when you come back to get it later!

Our duck is 
named after our 
late Aunt Fern 
who loved people,
crafts, color and who
would have loved to be a part of the action.
