Blaine’s Sewing Machine Center

I own a Kenmore sewing machine that is probably about 20+ years old and the bobbin winder stopped working. Also, I am just an occasional sewer so I never had it serviced. The part is no longer available from Kenmore, but Blaine’s was able to fix it and also serviced the machine (cleaned it, etc). They initially said it would take three weeks and that is exactly what it took. They also called me with the estimate, as I had requested. It was a pleasure dealing with them!

I was in the area for a race and my mom asked I stop here on my way to a race (big surprise). Blaine’s was participating in a «line by line» challenge where participants collect quilt row patterns throughout the united states. You obtain and complete as many rows as you want and each participating store has a different pattern to collect.
I consider myself crafty but not in the realm of sewing or quilting but if I were I would definately find myself in a store like Blaine’s more often than not. One of the last remaining independent retailers and repairers of sewing machings these women know there stuff. Who? e waiting to be helped and as I browsed I saw a variety of services from customers purchasing and picking up machines to those getting tutorials it was a bustling place. Sewing machines can be extremely complex machines today (and expensive to boot) so its great to have a place where you can find out how to get the most out of your investment
In addition they carry a pretty good (although as large as JoAnn’s) selection of patterns, fabric blocks and accessories for sewing, quilting and needlepoint crafts.
