· Sewing Machine Service
Austin’s has a full, on-site service center repairing and maintaining all makes and models of sewing machines and sergers. We do our best to accommodate customers with emergency sewing needs by scheduling appointments for those who need service while they wait. Our normal turn- around time for machine service is one week or less.

When you purchase your machine from Austin’s, private training classes are included to assure your comfort and knowledge of the machine. Extended training is available at an hourly cost for private lessons and here are several monthly clubs for customers who wish to fully utilize their machines. Customers who have purchased their machines from other sources may schedule hourly training with one of our knowledgeable teachers.
