Why St. Petersburg calls us
A machine used every day in a St. Petersburg alteration shop wears out its feed dogs and tension parts far faster than one used on weekends, and we take care of both kinds. If you sew canvas or upholstery in a garage in Shore Acres or the Old Northeast, you already know a light home machine will not push through six layers of vinyl. We can service the heavy machine you have or set you up with a good used one that will do the work. Our family has been at this for more than 65 years, and the estimate is always free.
Common repairs here
- Feed dog and presser foot adjustment on machines used daily for alterations

Questions from St. Petersburg customers
How long is the drive from downtown St. Pete to your shop?
About 20 to 25 minutes up I-275 to the Ulmerton exit. We are close to the St. Pete-Clearwater airport, so many people drop a machine off on the way to something else.
My industrial machine is bolted to a table. Do I have to bring the whole thing?
No. When a machine is too big or too heavy to move, we come to you. Call (727) 321-9344 and we will tell you whether an on-site visit or a drop-off makes more sense for your machine.
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.
