Why Mount Dora calls us
People buy a beautiful old machine at a Mount Dora antique show, get it home, and discover it will not turn. That is normal and usually reversible. The other half of our work here is quilting, since the sewing groups in Lakes of Mount Dora and around the lake are active and their machines get real mileage. At 115 miles out we would rather do one planned visit or one planned drop-off than have anyone guess, so call (727) 321-9344 first and describe the machine.

Questions from Mount Dora customers
I bought an old machine at an antique show. Will it ever sew?
Most of them will. The common problems are hardened oil, a missing or rotted belt, a bent needle bar, and a bobbin winder that slipped. We check whether the parts still exist before we recommend spending anything on it.
Is 115 miles too far for you to come out?
No, you are inside our 150-mile on-site radius. That said, on-site is meant for industrial and commercial machines. For a portable antique, a planned drop-off in Clearwater between 9 and 5 on a weekday is usually the better plan.
Is my machine worth repairing?
Often, yes. Machines built years ago were made with metal parts and they last. Many of the ones we see just need a good cleaning, fresh oil and an adjustment. We look at it first and tell you what it needs and what it costs. If the repair costs more than the machine is worth, we say so and you decide.
Do you charge for an estimate?
No. Estimates are free. Bring the machine to the shop, we will look at it, and we will tell you the cost before any billed work is done.
Do I need an appointment?
No. Come by Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM and drop the machine off. If you would rather call first, the number is (727) 321-9344.
Is your machine giving you trouble?
Call and tell us what it is doing. The estimate is free and you do not need the model number.
