📣 Salmon Arm Residents!

Big changes are happening at Fabricland in Salmon Arm — Fabricland now has new owners!

Congratulations to Jacquie and Brent as they begin this exciting new chapter. With new ownership comes a few changes for us as well.

Moving forward, The Sewing Machine Doctors will no longer be in Salmon Arm on Saturdays and will now be operating by appointment only on Thursdays. Clients will need to contact us ahead of time to schedule sewing machine or serger drop-offs and pickups while we are in town.

✨ Good news — we also offer in-home service calls throughout the Salmon Arm area! If your machine is too heavy or your have a few machines, instead of bringing your machine to us at Fabricland, you can book an appointment for us to come directly to your home for servicing and repairs.

With rising fuel costs, we need to ensure we have enough scheduled appointments for each trip down. This adjustment allows us to continue providing the same high-quality, same-day service you know and love while keeping our travel sustainable.

We truly appreciate all of the support from the Salmon Arm sewing community over the years and look forward to continuing to keep your machines running beautifully for many years to come! 🧵💕

📞 Please call or text us to book your appointment 250-859-6396.

📍 Penticton — We’re heading your way!

We’ll be at Black Rabbit Fabric in Penticton next Wednesday, May 13th for machine servicing and scissor sharpening!

✨ Give your sewing machine or serger the spa treatment it deserves! Regular maintenance helps keep everything running smoothly so you can get back to creating without the frustration of skipped stitches, tension issues, or unexpected breakdowns.

🧵 Please contact the shop or drop off your machine before next Wednesday to reserve your spot.

✂️ Reminder: We also sharpen scissors and garden shears — keep everything sharp and ready for summer projects!

We’re looking forward to servicing your beauties. Happy sewing and happy creating! 😊

🧵✨ Why Service Your Sewing Machine? ✨🧵

Think about what’s happening inside your sewing machine every time you sew…

It’s mostly metal moving against metal at high speeds. To keep everything running smoothly, your machine relies on clean oil and proper lubrication.

Now imagine that oil slowly drying out over time…
Dust, lint, and old oil start building up inside…
And eventually, your machine is running metal on metal. 😬

That can lead to: 🔹 Noisy operation
🔹 Skipped stitches
🔹 Tension problems
🔹 Poor performance
🔹 Expensive repairs
🔹 Shorter machine life

Regular servicing keeps your machine:
✅ Running smoothly
✅ Stitching beautifully
✅ Quiet and efficient
✅ Ready for every project you love

A well-maintained sewing machine doesn’t just sew better — it lasts longer and saves you money in the long run. 🪡💖

🧵✨ Your sewing machine works hard for you every stitch of the way — so don’t forget to give it the care it deserves! ✨🧵

One of the most important parts of our full machine service is completely opening up your sewing machine and removing all the built-up lint and debris hiding deep inside places you simply can’t reach during everyday cleaning.

You would be amazed at how much lint can collect around the motor, gears, moving parts, and electrical components over time! 🚨 Excess lint buildup near the motor can cause your machine to overheat, struggle to perform properly, and in some cases even lead to a burnt-out motor. Regular servicing helps prevent costly repairs and keeps your machine running smoothly and efficiently.

A yearly professional service is like a spa day for your sewing machine 💆‍♀️🪡
It keeps everything clean, lubricated, adjusted, and ready to handle all your creative projects with ease. Whether you sew every day or just for fun, routine maintenance can help extend the life of your machine and improve stitch quality, tension, and overall performance.

Your beautiful sewing machine takes care of your projects — let us help take care of it! ❤️

Book your yearly service and keep your machine happy, healthy, and stitching like new.

Happy sewing everyone! 🧵✨

🌸✨ Spring & Summer Sewing Machine TLC ✨🌸

Did you know that spring and summer are actually the perfect time to service your sewing machine or serger? 🧵☀️ While it might not seem urgent when you're sewing a little less, this is exactly when your machine needs, some love!

Here’s why booking a service now is a smart move:

🛠️ Faster Turnaround Times
Fall and winter are peak sewing seasons (hello, holiday projects and cozy makes!). That means repair shops get BUSY. In spring and summer, technicians typically have more availability—so you’ll get your machine back faster and ready to go when inspiration hits.

🧵 Idle Machines Still Need Care
If your machine sits unused for a while, oil can thicken, lint can settle, and parts can stiffen up. A service gets everything cleaned, lubricated, and moving smoothly again—kind of like stretching after a long nap!

✨ Better Stitch Quality
Skipped stitches? Uneven tension? A tune-up can fix that! Regular servicing ensures your machine forms clean, consistent stitches so your projects look as good as you imagined.

🔍 Catch Problems Early
Small issues (like worn belts, dull blades, or timing shifts) can turn into costly repairs if ignored. A seasonal service helps spot and fix these before they become bigger headaches.

💨 Deep Cleaning You Can’t Do at Home
Even the best at-home cleaning can’t reach every nook and cranny. Professionals remove built-up lint, dust, and thread bits from inside your machine—keeping it running like new.

⚙️ Extend Your Machine’s Life
Think of servicing like an oil change for your car. Regular maintenance reduces wear and tear, helping your sewing machine or serger last for years (and years!) to come.

🎯 Be Ready for Peak Sewing Season
When fall rolls around and your project list grows, you’ll be glad your machine is already in top shape—no waiting, no delays, just sew, sew, sew!

💡 Bonus Tip: Even if you sew regularly or not, most machines benefit from a professional service once a year.

So give your trusty sewing companion the care it deserves this season 💕 Your future projects will thank you!

📅 Ready to book your service? Don’t wait until the rush—your machine will thank you!

✂️ Did you know your scissors could last for years—even decades—with proper care!

Regular sharpening isn’t just about making cutting easier (though it definitely does that!). Sharp scissors actually protect your fabrics, giving you cleaner cuts, reducing fraying, and helping your projects look more professional. Dull blades, on the other hand, can snag, chew, and even damage delicate materials.

By keeping your scissors sharpened:
✨ You extend their lifespan
✨ Improve cutting precision
✨ Reduce hand strain
✨ Protect your materials

Whether you’re working with sewing scissors, hairdressing tools, or garden shears, a little maintenance goes a long way. Many high-quality scissors can last a lifetime when properly cared for!

We’re here to help keep your tools nice and sharp—just drop them off at any of our locations.

Sewing Scissors $10.
Spring Loaded/Pinking/Hairdresser/Garden Shears $12
Medical/Vet Scissors $15

Happy sewing everyone! 💜
