Donate Machines

The North Florida Sewing Center has sewing machines and sergers set up and ready to use for anyone that stops in to volunteer. 

We love receiving donated machines as it means we can do engage more people in sewing.  We are incredibly fortunate to have Sharon Harrett volunteering with us as she is able to lead a crew of competent sewists in cleaning and maintaining our fleet of machines.  

Sometimes people donate machines that aren’t working.  We trust Sharon to figure out how to fix them or to determine if the broken machine is only good for parts.  Often machines just need some cleaning, oil, and a small replacement part to be able to function well again.

After donated machines are checked and cleaned, we keep them on hand to sell at a reasonable cost

Sometimes we receive donations of machines that are not suitable for the kind of work we do at North Florida Sewing Center.  They could be too high tech or antiques.  When that happens, Sharon cleans them up and sells them for us.  Proceeds from these sales support our work so it is a win-win for everyone. 

If you wish to donate a sewing machine or serger to us, please drop it off at the center or contact nfsewingcenter@gmail.com. 

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ONGOING SUPPORT!
