Oh good! I was just telling dh that my machine needs a tune-up terribly!

If it's a Kenmore, call Sears. BTW. Average bench fees for an average ( non-computer) sewing machine will be around $60.00. That's what I pay for both my Singer and my Bernina no matter where I have taken them. That should include a clean/test and tune up. Any repairs over that will obviously be more. HTH.

I had mine worked on by Bernina Sewing Center in Sunset, ph 801-773-6625 You can call and see if they service Kenmore first, I really liked them and they were so helpful. GL

I have a family friend that fixes sewing machines. His name is Neal Iund. His phone # is 801-292-9726. He is in Centerville. He has been working with sewing machines for a long time and would be great at giving advice. My mom has had him fix her old sewing machine and he has given me advice on where to buy my sewing machine.
