Back by Popular Demand!

Two of the Best!While some companies are changing hands and others come and go, many corporations make decisions based solely on stock shares. Bernina and Baby Lock are, without question, two of the best companies in the sewing machine industry. What makes them great, in a word, is “support”! Our primary goal at Aurora Sewing Center is to provide the best to our customers -- in order for us to achieve this we must rely on vendors who give their best to us each and every day!

Although international corporations, the thing that makes Bernina and Baby Lock unique is that they are family based businesses...Bernina -- fourth generation and Baby Lock -- third generation! The pride in their products represents the legacy of their families. They enjoy the personal connections they have built throughout the industry and are confident that their products are the best that can be offered while continuing to honor their ancestors’ work.

As a dealer for Bernina and Baby Lock we know we are providing quality machines to you, the sewers. Our job in the service department is made easier because of the superior quality matched with ongoing training and support. These large companies follow a family owned business philosophy. They care about their products, their dealers (ASC) and, most importantly, you the sewers.

At ASC we have seen it all ... the insides of every make and model of machine out there. That being said, we are very pleased to offer two of the best lines in the industry to our customers. Machines will always require some degree of service, no matter what. Most often, just routine maintenance is required -- internal parts will be lubricated and adjusted, not replaced. This is because the machinery is engineered using quality parts so you can enjoy years of happiness! Be sure to keep your machine clean & oiled and schedule your routine maintenance regularly.

Never sew with a mushy bobbin, thread with two hands and enjoy sewing. Jim
