Tanner's Sewing and Vacuum Center

My wife's beloved Babylock Serger had never really worked right after local shops and the factory had tried, thread tensioning issues got to the point that she didn't use it and didn't want to spend any more money for repairs. It was a death match fight to give Tanner's a shot at it, turns out the last place I took it should have been the first. The machine has never ever worked this well and my wife is in love again. Thank you very much Rick Martinez for an excellent repair and the very rare debate win. She is almost always right! Thanks again!

An amazing resource and business. Check out the sewing classes for kids (and adults!). Bought a great machine from them just as COVID started. Endless fun. Going back for a lesson included with the purchase. #supportlocal

This is a mom and pop business that has earned and deserves our support. From sewing machine support and service to sewing classes ( mine were with Linda), 5 stars all around. My then husband bought a sewing machine and serger for me here in 2015. I had these machines serviced at Tanners this May. I received excellent service both then and now. Ian knows sewing machines like the back of his hand and better. He is an honest dealer with an excellent reputation in the community. Rick is Pfaff expert and has recently been very helpful with tips on using my pfaff sewing machine. If you want a quality used sewing machine or serger, this is the place to go. Last but definitely not least, let's talk about the sewing classes with Linda. Recently during quarantine, I have been taking the adult sewing classes. Linda is the most patient and knowledgeable instructor that you can find. Without her I would not have been able to complete on time and professionally a beautiful mens dress shirt for my father for his 88th birthday. He LOVES it!!! Since the completion of that project, she has been teaching me tricks for getting collars to look perfect, how to sew a bow and ribbon onto a hat, how to make a bow/ necktie and how to look at different fabrics both by design (ie plaid) and the material. I have seen her help people create patterns out of existing clothing. The classes are set up for 4 students but Linda finds a way to make sure everyone gets what they need. Linda is kind, diplomatic, and even tempered. She is a loving peaceful person and is excellent in managing children. I have seen her during a childrens class. She is patient and inspires confidence in children as they complete simple to complex projects. If you are a parent and interested in sewing classes for your child, look no further. If you have desires to improve your sewing skills no matter what your age, Tanner's Linda is your gal. 5 stars for this establishment all around!

Purchased a new sewing machine for nieces birthday spent almost $385 only 2 days I had purchased however it was too hard for my niece to grasp since she a beginner, called Tanners told them truth, I got turned down was told it doesn’t work like that!! I could not return it at all ,I had receipt and all , I was upset at myself I should have asked before I gave them my credit card over the phone ,, quick to take money without letting you know no refunds Make sure you ask questions before you purchase anything from here !! In good faith thought it would be no issue since I had for 2 days in original packaging
