I have a serger that my grand nephew decided to play spaceship with it. Not knowing what he played with. We brought it over to Montavilla sewing at the Milwaukie location and Alex took wonderful care in checking it out and making sure the tension was spot on. Thank you Alex for your help!!!

Anna spent a half hour patiently and kindly helping me learn to use the sewing machine I had bought at Montavilla Sewing Center long ago but never used. I thought I was going in to try to sell them the unused machine, but instead I left with the machine feeling eager to get to those sewing projects I’ve had on hold.
