All Sew

Sent my Singer SE9180 in for warranty covered repair. In the meantime I bought a Bernina and have been using that so didnt unpack my Singer right away. Did so yesterday as I needed 2 machines running and my Singer came back in worse working condition than when it was sent in. Its loud and chunks when sewing. The thread loops on the top and bottom of the material and no tension adjustment fixes it. I'm very disappointed that I'll need to take my machine in for repair somewhere else.

Like the new store .I purchased this beach panel before the move.Use part for a porch flag. Still undecided about the rest of panel. Thank for info on shop hop

Took in my machine (Epic 1) and had to order a part and still got my machine back in a reasonable time. All the staff were very helpful and answered all my questions. Love the new store!!

~*I was in the market for a new sewing machine and after much research, I had my sights set on the beautiful minty green Elna Elnita Ef1. The sewing center closest to me isn't an Elna dealer, so I reached out to All Sew in Flint. Shirl answered the phone and was absolutely wonderful--she was super friendly and if there was anything she didn't know, she was willing to look into and call back with an answer. Based on our phone conversation(s), her demeanor, and their price point, I decided to make the 1.5 hour trek on Good Friday to buy (order) my machine. And as an added bonus, they even took my old Viking 6020 in on trade--even though it didn't work!! (Apparently this was because the parts for that machine are hard to come by and my machine had what they needed.) A couple weeks later my new Elnita EF1 arrived, I made the drive back over to Flint to pick it up, and before I left they let me test it out to be sure it was in proper working condition. Shirl was able to demonstrate how to use some of the 'modern' features that the machine has (like an auto thread cutter and a separate motor to wind the bobbin--yes, even while you sew!), and I appreciated that very much. I will admit that they weren't extremely knowledgeable about ALL of the ins-and-outs of this PARTICULAR model, so I am very glad I did my research and spoke with some folks at the huge sewing centers in California and Alabama who have sold multiples of this exact model before I arrived. BUT this lack of knowledge is not necessarily All Sew's fault----there are OODLES of sewing machine models for sale out there, All Sew is a distributor of multiple brands, AND the local sewing machine market is mostly quilters & home seamstresses, NOT folks like me who are looking to buy a HD professional model like the Elnita Ef1. So it's understandable why they didn't know ALL the tiny little details of this particular machine. On the flip side of that, I will say that when others arrived to get help with or purchase a more standard domestic machine, I noticed that Shirl and Al (the manager/owner) seemed to know everything about those machines and were very willing to assist. Bottom line: Do some of your own research before you arrive (just in case you're asking for an oddball model like the Elnita Ef1), work with Shirl (because she's the sweetest and most down-to-earth lady), and make the trek to All Sew to get your machine. I'm definitely glad I did! My new machine sews like a dream, I can now sew through thick layers of interfacing and vinyl without breaking needles, and Bonus!--I get to work with a beautiful minty green machine whilst enjoying my hobby. It's a dream come true!*~
