Rumpled Quilt Skins maintains and services most brands of sewing machines and sergers. We're factory trained on all Husqvarna Viking machines to ensure that your service and warranty work is done to specifications.
We try to provide the fastest service possible so that you can get back to your sewing projects. If you prefer, you can schedule an appointment and get same-day service (and at no extra charge)!
Our sewing machine service fee is $89.95 and includes all necessary adjustments. There is an additional fee of $25.00 to service the embroidery unit on embroidery machines. Our service fee for sergers is $99.00. In most cases, there is no extra charge for installation of replacement parts. Please call for a free consultation on what your machine requires.
A properly serviced sewing machine or serger is clean on both the outside AND the inside. Proper service includes the following: removal of all covers, cleaning and blowing out the lint and dust with an air compressor, removing old and dirty grease, applying oil or grease to all moving parts, checking timing and clearances, replacing all covers, and providing a stitch sample.
We have several recommendations for better care and longevity of your machine:
Have your sewing machine or serger every serviced every 1½ to 2 years. Service more frequently if you use your machine a lot or if you use a lot of linty fabrics or threads. Also, in our climate, the lubricants will dry out in about that time, so it is a good preventive measure.
Change your needle often. A bent or worn needle can cause poor stitches and perhaps burrs on your bobbin case. The cost of a needle is much less than the cost of a ruined project or the frustration of poor quality. Choose an appropriate needle to suit your technique and fabric. And remember, an incorrectly inserted needle can cause damage in the bobbin area.
Cleaning out your bobbin area by using a mini-vac is the one of the best at-home jobs you can do for your machine. Using compressed air will force the lint and dirt into your machine (not where you want it!).
Running your machine every month or two if you are not using it for an extended period of time, will help to prevent it from seizing.
Proper oiling in the correct places with the correct oil will help every machine run smoother, quieter and longer. Not sure where or how? Just ask us and we'll be glad to help.
When you bring your machine for service, remember to bring the correct bobbin, a zig zag foot, foot control and power cord.
Using the correct bobbin is essential. One that looks the same isn't always the best.
