Welcome to Bert’s Bobbins, where a clean machine makes sewing a dream!

I am an independent sewing machine servicing technician.
Currently providing routine servicing, by appointment only, for:

$80 for basic cleaning, regardless of vintage or modern.
- Removing the covers to clean out lint and old grease/lubricants for non-computerized machines;
- Oiling metal parts and lubricating/greasing any gears.

(No repairs at this time)

* Will not open machines that are still under warranty.

$20 added for machines that are Extra Dirty internally
- Will only know once the covers are removed.

Express (Rush) Fee:
$30 to jump to head of line

Service Area:
- Enterprise, Daleville, Fort Rucker, Level Plains

- $20 pick-up fee for outside of these areas

Please visit my page for contact info.

I will provide service to any customer who is respectful to me and my business, and who pays for the services rendered. I reserve the right to refuse service to anyone who is discriminatory, threatening, or creates an unsafe environment.
This business is a safe and welcoming space for all, including our LGBTQ+ neighbors.

Every sewist has that moment: “Why can’t I do this myself?”

That’s the spark—the beginning.
It’s the shift toward becoming a Sewing Machine Rebel.

A Sewing Machine Rebel is not reckless or overly confident. You are simply someone who refuses to believe that you must hand your machine over to someone else every time it needs help. You know you are capable of learning. You know you are resourceful. You know you are ready for more.

Opening your machine is not just about cleaning and oiling.

It is about reclaiming skill, confidence, and self-sufficiency.

It is about no longer being dependent on a service shop that may not even exist in your area.

It is about taking ownership of your sewing life.

If this resonates with you, you are exactly whom I teach.
And you do not have to figure this out alone.

I created a free on-demand Open House that shows you:

• what essential sewing machine skills you can reliably master at home
• how my programs guide you step-by-step with easy-to-follow lessons
• how the SDOCS method simplifies the procedures with proven techniques
• how each program is designed to fit your needs and budget, offering confidence and independence with your sewing machine

Ready to become a Sewing Machine Rebel?

Our programs are discounted for 4 days after you register for the Open House. Each program includes expert, human help when you need it. Individual programs start at $99, and bundle packages start at $447.

Take the step and unlock your potential.
Trust your capability. You are more ready than you think.
