He’s sew awesome! *rimshot* I’m here all day, folks. In need of some TLC for a recently acquired and antiquated sewing machine — from the 1960s, to be accurate — I came across Steve via my Google Reader. A NYC-​based blog commented he repaired older machines and was extremely knowledgeable. That he was also extremely close to my neighborhood helped seal the deal for me. The internet can be a great thing.
Despite the light rail construction on University, I made it into Prospect Park without any major issue. Steve was really great; he talked about my machine for a while and answered all my nosy questions about other machines he had in his studio. I dropped my sewing machine off on a Saturday and picked it up Wednesday. The invoice was a bit more expensive since the machine had additional problems, but he was very detailed in his invoice — think paragraphs — about what needed to be fixed and the good parts about my machine. So now I have a sewing machine that was purchased and tuned up for around $ 100 total that is more dependable and durable than a sewing machine I’ll buy today for around the same price.
Steve was really friendly and knowledgeable and clearly showed a great passion for his work. I’m pleased about the service and am excited to start sewing!
