Bernina Foot of the Month / Accessory of the Month

Bernina Appliqué foot #23V

When it comes to appliquéing with a narrow satin-stitch (up to 2 mm), Appliqué Foot #23 is the expert. Its sophisticated design allows the fabric to feed easily over the stitches, even in the case of very dense rows of stitching. A cutout on the front of the presser foot will hold a narrow couching thread, making for trouble-free sewing of satin-stitching with cording. And since Appliqué Foot #23 features a clear sole, there is a perfect view of the stitch area at all times – a decisive advantage, especially when following outlines and corners.

where to get a sewing machine serviced near me?
who services sewing machines near me?

The above must be all the questions anyone who uses a sewing machine must ask themselves at some point. I imagine that it tends to be asked right at the wrong point where your Sewing Machine has just stopped being a sewing machine or when it starts to make a very odd noise.

You can look no further; we are the Eastmindlands premier sewing machine service centre; we look at all brands and models of sewing machines, and all our work is carried out in-store, which means we don’t send anything out of the way to be done.
If you need your sewing machine fixed, please give us a call or click here.

We have a standard turnaround, which works on how long the queue is. however, if you do need your machine back in a hurry, we offer a priority turn around, which costs £40.00 on top of the service. if you opted for this, we would turn your machine around within 24-48hrs (excluding parts required to be ordered in)

We also offer a pre-booking service, so if you are going away on holiday and would like your machine ready to collect when you come back on holiday we can get this ready for you. you do, however, have to book this a minimum of 4 weeks in advance.

if you do have any questions about your sewing machine service or repair then please give us a call on 0115 9223904

Happy Sewing
