Who sews anymore anyway? You mean people really repair sewing machines in our throw away society? I suspect with your lack of writing skills you will not even be able to fill out the application for employment. I see your looking in Boston. Though I love Boston myself I wonder if you would have an easier time in New York City in the garment district. There is a very very large area with nothing but clothing manufacturers. So consider relocating.
i`ve been learning english since last december .
english is my 3th lenguage , after arabic and french .
i will write and speak it veri well .
thank you.
Yes, of course people sew, since we don't wear bags and most clothes have seams! And sewing machines are used both professionally and privately.
But where these companies are is the big question??? and then in the Boston area is another question??
I would go online for your state gov's website or better business bureau. And get a list of manufacturing companies that still put their clothes together here instead of abroad.
or contact Sears corporate and ask them if they have a sewing machine repair shop in the boston area. There are a lot of people who sew!! and have sewing machines, that break.
I did a couple of weeks ago, su pply you with a list of manufacturers that you said you would use.
Hi, This gentleman contacted me, but I don't fix industrial machines. He is looking for someone, and is out of Canton, Ohio. He owns a flag making business and seemed very reputable.
I have a large sweater factory located in Fall River, MA. I am in need of a sewing machine mechanic who is experienced with knits. (Merrow, Juki, Brother, Reese, etc...) [email]nemdigelt@gmail.com[/email]
I agree that there probably isn't much demand for sewing machine repairs anymore. I own a sewing machine and know how to use it but if it broke, I'd probably just throw it out and buy a new one--like tvs, and microwaves and radios, the cost of repairs is often not much less than buying perfectly new equipment that will be covered by warranty.
Above suggestions about targeting garment district is good. Also perhaps furniture repair places (there may also be some new-furniture factories but I doubt many in the Boston area)? You could drop your name and number off at businesses and work as a freelancer also--dry cleaners usually have sewing machines, craft stores that offer craft classes or equipment repair days.
