When a machine starts skipping stitches, the search usually ends on a forum thread where someone asks their whole city for a recommendation — there is no directory of the shops that actually fix them. These are the sew-and-vac shops, dealers and independent technicians who service machines: the same places that sell them, plus the ones that only repair. Listed with phone numbers, because this is a call-first errand.

Sewing Machine Repair near Saint Louis
Good to know
How much does a sewing machine tune-up cost?
Most independent shops charge a flat bench fee for a standard service — cleaning, oiling, re-timing and tension adjustment — with parts quoted on top. Computerised and embroidery machines usually cost more than a mechanical straight-stitch, and a machine that hasn't been serviced in years may need parts that are no longer made.
Is it worth repairing an old sewing machine?
Usually yes for an all-metal mechanical machine — they were built to be serviced, and parts are often still available or interchangeable. For an inexpensive modern plastic-body machine, a major repair can approach the cost of replacement, which is worth asking the shop directly before you leave it on the bench.
