My CV begins in 1981.
After finishing high school I started working as a student-
mechanic in a sewing factory with about 2000 different sewing
machines. Later I studied at college whilst working, for 4
years. This was very useful, theory and practice at the same
time. Following was a series of years working in various sewing
factories; managing my own sewing company for 16 years- which
involved selling and repairing sewing machines. In those years I
had experience renovating all sorts of sewing machines, starting
with straight stitch industrial, domestic and finishing with
multi needle, computerised and specialised machines. Last 7
years I was working in London, in a sewing machine shop.
(Reference provided). Now I started my own business.

Don’t worry if you have a different model sewing machine! In
principle all sewing machines are similar. They have a needle
and a shuttle and I know how to adjust them.
Many people
ask, is it really worth repairing an old sewing machine which
may cost me ₤50 or maybe more, when in the shopping centres
there are new sewing machines, which cost ₤30- ₤40 and have 3 to
25 year guarantees? Well, “old is gold”. If your sewing machine
has been reliable for 20 years or more, then trust me, when
fixed it will work even longer. Many of the cheap plastic sewing
machines are like single use photo cameras- you stitch couple of
stitches and once there are problems, you just throw it away
regardless of any ‘long lasting guarantee’. Those sorts of
sewing machines are made for selling, not for sewing.
