Sewing machine repair in Kaunas most often begins with a small but annoying symptom: the thread breaks every few centimetres, the machine skips stitches, or a knot appears under the fabric. Sometimes the cause is something simple, such as the wrong needle or lint under the needle plate, and sometimes it is a misadjusted hook, a worn belt or the electronics.

At the Šilainiai service centre we accept household and industrial, mechanical and computerised machines. First, a €10 diagnostic is carried out, and we tell you the repair price afterwards and agree on it before starting work. If repairing the machine is not worthwhile, we will tell you so.

Sewing machine repair in Kaunas: how to safely bring your machine to Šilainiai

It is best to carry a household machine by its body or handle, not by the handwheel, the cover or the connected pedal cable. If you have kept the original case or box, use them. If not, wrap the machine in soft fabric or a towel and put it in a sturdy bag.

Before leaving, remove the needle, wind up the power cable and pack the pedal separately. This way the needle will not break and the plug will not get tangled on the way. Heavier industrial machines are better transported with a helper. Leave a removed motor with the machine so that the parts do not get mixed up.

If the fault can be reproduced, sew a test seam before leaving and bring a piece of fabric – it will be easier for the technician to see what is happening.

What happens when you leave your machine at the Šilainiai service centre

First, an initial diagnostic is carried out for €10. The technician inspects the threading path, the needle, the hook, the fabric feed mechanism, the motor and the pedal, and on computerised machines also the control board and buttons.

Once the cause is clear, you are told the repair price. For example, cleaning and lubrication start from €15, electrical repair – from €20, motor or belt replacement – from €25, and control board repair – from €35. The final amount depends on the model and parts, so we agree on it before starting the repair.

We cannot promise an exact repair time in advance: it depends on the fault and on whether parts need to be replaced. Original parts are used, and a warranty is provided for the work carried out.

When it is worth repairing and when to try yourself first

Some things can be tried at home. Re-thread the machine with the presser foot raised, replace the needle with a new one, and clean the lint from around the bobbin hook. If the thread still puckers the fabric, check the thread tension adjustment, and if the machine turns with difficulty, read how to lubricate a sewing machine mechanism.

It is worth bringing the machine to the service centre when these steps do not help. Do not delay especially if the machine overheats, smells of burning, does not respond to the pedal or makes a metallic rattling noise – in that case, unplug it and stop using it. If the machine has been sitting in a cupboard for years, cleaning and lubrication are often enough; read about this in the article on reviving an old sewing machine.

In Lithuania, the most common machines are Singer, Brother, Janome, Juki and Bernina, but the causes of faults are similar regardless of the manufacturer.

What to bring to the Šilainiai service point

  • The sewing machine, preferably in its case or wrapped in soft fabric
  • The pedal and power cord
  • A short description of the fault: when it appeared and how it shows itself
  • A piece of fabric with a poorly sewn seam
  • The threads and needles the machine was sewing with when the problem occurred
  • Additional presser feet or accessories, if they are related to the fault

Frequently asked questions about sewing machine repair in Kaunas

Do you repair industrial sewing machines and overlockers in Kaunas?

Yes, the Šilainiai service point accepts both household and industrial machines, mechanical and computerised. For a specific model or overlocker, you can simply bring the device in, and the technician will examine it during diagnostics.

Will you tell me if repairing an old machine is not worth it?

Yes. After diagnostics, the technician identifies the fault and the repair price, so you can decide whether the repair is worthwhile. Work begins only after the price has been agreed.

How long will the repair take?

An exact timeframe cannot be given in advance, because it depends on the fault and on whether parts need to be replaced. The technician can estimate an approximate time after examining the machine.

What if the machine smells of burning or overheats?

Unplug it from the mains immediately and stop using it. This may indicate a problem with the motor, pedal or wiring, so it is worth bringing the machine in to be checked.
