Sewing Source Inc

I bought a new sewing machine here in Atlanta, but it’s not working properly. I’ve taken it back to where I bought it without success in getting it repaired. A friend in Illinois told me about Sewing Source that was helpful to her so I gave them a call. The repairman, Joe, was very patient telling me different things to try to resolve the problem. How lucky was I to get someone to help me when I didn’t even buy the machine there! That’s what I call good business. I wish we had this store here in the Atlanta area.

Sewing Source is Lake Villa is a wonderful quilt shop. In addition to a good fabric selection, Sewing Source sells a variety of sewing machines, Janome, Baby Lock, etc. in a wide price range. Debbie, the owner, is very helpful in guiding the buyer to a machine that will fit the individual’s needs. I have purchased 5+ sewing machines and have been delighted with the instruction received on how to use each machine — I keep upgrading! Also, Joe, the «sewing machine God,» is a wonder at repairing and cleaning machines. He is very knowledgable, not costly, and speedy! He works on all models of machines — not just those sold in their shop. The classes and lectures are always well done — and sweets are provided. I feel fortunate to be close enough to Sewing Source to run over whenever I have a question about quilting or garment sewing. A great shop with an even greater staff!

I went in to get my sewing machine repaired. They told me it would cost upwards of $ 80 and take several weeks to complete. They also don’t take credit cards for repairs – only cash or check, which was annoying because I didn’t have $ 30 cash on me to pay the deposit. I ended up taking my sewing machine elsewhere. I don’t have the money or the time to spend on their services.

Friendly, and had the one thing I needed but I’m glad I didn’t go here for fabric. The store was rundown and didn’t have a great fabric selection. If you need Janome parts, however, they were well stocked.
