Best Sewing Machine Shops In New York Near Me

anna gonzalez: He’s a very nice guy but he couldn’t fix my machine. Still Great place to buy threads zippers snd other sewing needs

a sn: I could not believe positive reviews. I had a very bad experience at this Gizmo shop some time ago. First I had to call him several times, then at last he said that he fixed my sawing machine. I paid and took it home. At home I saw that he just lied to me. He did something superficial which temporary concealed a problem.

Theresa D'lor: Absolutely love this little shop. Gizmo is the greatest, always very helpful. Great spot to stop into when in need of materials, sewing machines and supplies.

Andy Maxwell: Needed some pattern paper and they were very helpful!

Amber Renee Smith: A wonderful establishment with very kind and patient staff. They have a great selection of buttons for any type of project you are making!

Maeve Kelly: This place is a treasure. He fixed my machine for a very affordable price and also sharpens scissors. I hope this place stays open forever.

Hannah Qin: hossein is the best! he specializes in sewing machines, but he was able to fix the needle threader on my embroidery machine for a reasonable price. it did take a couple of weeks, but that was out of his control as there was some back and forth with his Brother machine specialist and it took a while to receive the replacement part we needed. in general, it seems like there are long shipping times for parts these days. i would trust my machine with hossein any day!

Amy Hogan: Gizmo is the only game in town.He’s amazing.

Sheryl Liston: I still sew with my grand mother's beautiful little Singer. At one point, Hossein actually rebuilt the motor.

debbi: . THANK YOU SO MUCH GIZMO FOR SALVAGING MY MACHINE! IT WORKS WONDERFULLY!

jessy d: I love this shop. I went in there and was amazed to find an original east village shop, the kind that nyc was built by. The owner works his shop, knows everything about machines and supplies, and has really great prices. When you’re doing an art project and suddenly your sewing machine needle breaks there is nowhere else to go but Gizmo. Seriously so many stores that supply creative project items are closing to the big faceless corporations selling burgers and cheap clothes. If you’re looking for a small business to help out during this pandemic I highly recommend this place. Also amazing selection of buttons, new and vintage.

smalls p: Hussein is an expert at fixing machines. I've taken multiple machines to him over many years and always had good results. He also is happy to advise on getting a new machine.

Gabriella Imperatori-Penn: I am so happy ! My 1970's Bernina Sewing Machine needed repair and a lot of tuning. I just picked it up and it's like new ! Never been better ! Thank you !

Lexi Walicke: Lots of patience and very helpful.

Mad Tricarico: Omg 😱😭 the worst thing you can do is give this guy anything to fix. Instead of fixing my machine he mess it up more. He had my sewing machine for over a month and only call me back because I called him to see if it was fix and if I was coming because he was closings. He actually broke a part that wasn't broke and now I have to find some another sewing machine repair shop. If I didn't check the machine before I left I would have taken it home to find all the things wrong with my sewing machine that we're before I gave it to him. He mess up my sewing machine. A simple fix is now a major problem. DON'T GIVE HIM ANYTHING.

ooo o: I’m really sorry and extremely upset to write a negative review for a small business. Small businesses have such hard time. But this guy from GIZMO returned my sewing machine in the same condition that it was before, still with a scotch tape over a broken part and said that he fixed something inside and this tape is OK and it’s not necessary to fix or replace it. At home, as soon the tape got loose, the machine stopped. So, now I’m with the same problem and out of my money. When the next day I asked him what he fixed inside I did not get a clear answer. He said if I want to replace a broken part than I have to pay more. It may seem like a manipulation to make me to pay more. I do not know who gave him these good reviews. May be he can fix some small problems. Also he is good in pretending to look “nice” and ‘honest”. I do not know why I paid him and took a machine with a scotch tape. For some reason I trusted him that it can work. I was wrong. Of course, I have to blame myself too. When I brought a machine to his shop he did not give me an estimate, said that he won’t fix but replace a broken hand wheel and quickly took the machine to the back of the shop. It happen very fast. He did not give me a receipt but said do not worry he will call soon. I waited for his call for like three weeks and then called him. It took like five weeks to get my machine back. Now I see that I had to insist on a receipt and estimate. But, again, he really learned how to pretend to look “honest” and “nice”. When you carry a heavy machine for like twenty blocks you already invested in it too much and cannot just take it back. So if you cannot find another shop, make sure to ask him for a price estimate and receipt with what he is exactly going to do. It’s a big lesson for me don’t trust people like this. I paid for this lesson and now am looking for another shop to fix my sewing machine.

Russell Pierre: I was very fortunate to stumble onto Hector's Sunset Sewing Machine establishment.I looked at about 8 or more places looking for Sewing machine repairs in Brooklyn and because of the reviews ,I decided to give his place a try.He really didn't disappoint me,he's a very friendly ,caring and giving person.I told him the problem I was having and he immediately opened up the machine checked the areas of the machine and was able to fix it on the spot.I waited about 25 mins or so ,and he allowed me to sit and watch him at his Craft.He is very passionate about his craft,he has been working, studying and fixing these machines for over 40yrs.He comes from Columbia and started studying and working on sewing machines at the age of 15yrs.I watched him work on my machine and it really showed his skills and perfection of his craft.He also tuned my sewing machine , replaced a belt and oiled it as well.He answered my questions and gave me some knowledge of about my Singer 328k sewing machine.His prices are very fair.Only thing you have to look for parking ,I was able to park across the street at TDA Bank for 30mins or so.Please support small business like Hector and who knows ,you might also find a friend.Thanks for reading my feedbacks and have a wonderful day.

Nat Jon: First time at this place. It was a Great Experience. My sewing machine needed a much overdue tune up and Frank at the shop got it back to tip top shape. I am pleased.

Jay S: I enjoyed the 2 workshop classes that I attended. However, the student-to-instructor ratio could be better and it's not very beginner-friendly. In both classes, I haven't been able to complete the clothing pieces bc of time and the instructor having to divide attention among everyone. It becomes counter-effective and results in a lack of completion in the 3 hours or so. Other than that the instructors are helpful and it's a great space to work.

abby cab: I loved taking classes at the NY Sewing Center; our instructor was very helpful about going over the basics and machine instructions. Their studio was spacious and has all the materials you will need in class.

Selines Guzman: It was an awesome experience, teacher was great, pleasant and kind...she even gave me some pointers on making an outfit smaller...the tote bag was used already😊

Linda Hearts: Learned so much from them, I plan to attend here more often in the future. Great staff. Great customer service. Love it 💜💛

Alexa LaVersa: I've taken a few beginner classes and I highly recommend both the classes and studio! Its such fun to create something beautiful and useful, and instructors are friendly and helpful while leading the classes at an achievable pace. The studio is a nice space, with bright windows and well-lit, and stocked with all the equipment needed. I'm definitely planning to continue coming for classes and open studio hours to continue working on projects.

Rae Smith: I went in to use the studio for a personal project while I was in town on vacation and had a great experience. Booking the time was a quick and painless couple of emails. The most difficult part was finding the place since I’m not from NY and not used to businesses sharing buildings/floors. But I got there with relatively little hassle. They gave me my own little room to work in with a sewing machine and cutting table, just had to go to another room to use the iron. They had everything I needed available including scissors, pins, thread, chalk, etc. for no additional cost. I can’t vouch for the classes, but the space was really cute and my experience was great- highly recommend if you need a place to get a bit of sewing done!

Kathryn Lloyd: I took the one-day bootcamp and it was a fantastic experience! I hadn't used a sewing machine for over 20 years and was basically a beginner. The instructor gave super clear guidance on getting started with the basics, and then also offered really helpful 1-1 support once we got going on our projects. Since I didn't finish my project that day, I was really grateful for the additional free 2-hour drop in class included in the bootcamp experience--I came back 2 weeks later to finish and again got great 1-1 support. Highly recommend!

T D: Enjoying taking private sewing lessons here! Highly recommend!

Loni Efron: I love going to my sewing class. The teachers are fantastic. The machines work great. The center is so clean and they have great coffee! I am having the best time. I started making a pants today. I am a novice!

Martina Pavlicova: and explained everything clearly and in a fun way. The 90 minutes flew by, and I left feeling confident and excited to start a sewing project. Overall, it was a much better experience than I had anticipated, and I would definitely recommend this center. Thank you!

Florencia Guevara: I had private lessons on February and it was an amazing experience!Lindy, Amy and Eun Young were amazing teachers and taught me so much about tailoring. Also the studio was super organized and beautiful and had everything I needed.

B.R. Harris, MD: My quilting friends enjoy monthly gatherings and have never once been disappointed over the past few months and the prior year to the shut down during COVID. The staff is knowledgeable, warm and friendly. I recommend this creative space highly and without reservation.

Juliet Nyangoma D.: Class size was small and intimate. We learned a lot and came out of it with our tote bag. Had a great time sipping on wine and having a good laugh while we worked too.

Ilana Palgi: Wonderful teaching and energy!

Shirley Galvin: Very professional can record lesson suits all levels super if you just need to check your doing the right method friendly

Heather Propes: It's a great place to learn to sew. They have many interesting classes. I attended a "sewing 102" 3 hour workshop and it was very helpful and fun to be part of a sewing community. Also it's a great location with many fabric stores and restaurants nearby.

tee boogie: are so helpful, kind, and knowledgeable. Their prices and offerings from fabrics, supplies, tailoring, and instructional classes can't be beat!

Exploring Meerkats: Friendly staff, good prices and variety. They also offer tailoring and sewing classes.

Olivia Langford: Excellent customer service and so many options. Love this place!!!!!

Wanda Aviles: Accompanied a friend and it was interesting.

Isabel Perez: It the only one in the area and she has alot of things

Nayda Santiago: Have only been once, small family business, it's like going back in time. If ur into sewing or need something tailored than this is the place to go. Plenty of fabrics, ribbons, patterns & yes buttons to choose from. Long standing patrons keep this humble store afloat. Give a try!! 👍

Aimee O: I want to leave a good review but I let enough experiences draw me to leave this here. It’s in interesting part of the Bronx. I drive pretty far to go get repairs done. I’ve done a few and bought enough business. Despite trying to keep it business the lady owner is pretty talkative so it’s one of those drop or pick up your items and go or she’ll keep you there. The daughter is always there and usually the one who picks up the phone. I’m not a fan of the attitude. I know her name is Nurin and I called to bring some new items for repairs and she hung up and blocked my call. I tried calling from my second phone and it went through and she tried to act as if she did not. I give them zero stars for over stepping business boundaries and making things personal. Also the attitude of the girl. Unprofessional and lacks business etiquette.

Almanza Banks: Customer service GREAT

Evie Tavin: I walked in and was immediately greeted warmly and helped throughout the process of choosing a new sewing machine. Manny answered all of my questions, including the unique ones. Highly recommend checking it out if you need sewing notions, machines, or repairs.

Rebecca Chan: Great experience working with Jordan and Manny getting supplies for school. Awesome customer service and very professional gentlemen. Thanks guys! I'll be coming back!

sandra villeda: Very rude and not helpful!!! Over priced DO NOT order from this company. No customer service and expensive products!!!!!

Kenny Arnold: The owner of the store really looks out for his customers and occasionally offers deals to repeat regulars.

Ann Conroy: My clapper came w gummy stuff on the face plate. My husband had nice sand paper to remove the sticky stuff. Now I m quite happy

Jay Astro: Picked up this amazing dress form from American Sewing Supply yesterday. They were a huge help in getting me the supplies I needed for class. I did not know what to expect since I had to go to the 8th floor in this office building. After walking in and speaking with the Manny, he made me feel welcomed and told me some awesome stories. I will definitely be coming back here for all my sewing supplies.

Analisa Pettus: I love this place. They got me exactly what I needed at the time I needed it. I bought a female wire dress form from them. The dress form was easy to put together and I love that it has an adjustable height. I put a dress on it posted a picture and it sold like hotcake. LOL!!! I put that same dress on a hangar and the dress did not sell. I'm getting a male wire form next. Michael was extremely helpful, pleasant, and accommodating.

Madison Yuan: This place is amazing. Great service and helped me with my problem. Good prices and the owner is super friendly and a great person to talk to.

yolanda villeda: Great service and great product! Super friendly too !

Ez Lin: They don’t want to do business. Don’t go there

Lenny Mamut: Has lots of sewing supplies!

Alex Adams: Got there at 3:30 in the afternoon; nobody there.

Joann Lee: Such a gem of a shop. Manny was such a refreshing person who was down to earth and friendly. Though small, they carry a good amount of items at fair prices. Even if you don't need anything, highly suggest just going there to check it out and have great conversations!

Bob Fitterman: Got there at 10:30 on a Monday morning and no one was there. Call before you go.

taras c: Bought a Juki serger from here so I could carry it off and learn to make pants during a blizzard. Couple weeks later, it broke down and these guys just took it back, arranged to fix it, and then I picked it back up within several business days. Fast, no complexities. I'm glad I bought the machine here rather than online because the human tough really helps.

Courtney McClellan: Super helpful and fast. Great selection!

Alison Lucek: they have all that you could need, and were most helpful and personable... go here first!

Bonnie E: Cute shop, always friendly. I love their kits and they have some really great samples made up. Wish I lived closer so I could take a class!

Sarah Ichord: Friendly staff and beautiful fabric options. Highly recommend if you’re in the area!

donald leef: We purchased a quilt kit they put together and it short some fabric. Dispite a telephone call and an email we received no response and were forced to call the credit card company to disopute the transaction.

Rahel Buess: Ein liebevoll einrichteter Quiltstoff-Laden mit 2 sympathischen Expertinnen, die einem kompetent beraten können. Ich komme wieder!

Katie Patterson: Love this store! It’s the last standing quilt shop in NYC. After being a online customer from afar, it was so fun to visit this space in person. The gorgeous choices of quality fabrics, great patterns, notions, quilting supplies, quilting services, and a happy space to be in makes it a treasure.

Karen Lozner: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,Responsiveness,ValueLove this place! The owners are very friendly and give you the best deals around.Thank you Jeff!

Peter Pansilva: Great knowledge and they deliver.
