“Canberra Sewing” provides an essential service selling and maintaining sewing machines, embroidery machines, and overlockers. With the current owner since 1993 but before that from 1970, first as The Bernina Sewing Centre, then Stitches of Canberra.

We moved to Phillip, ACT in 1995, a very central Canberra location. In addition to the sale of sewing and embroidery machines, the business conducts sewing classes and sells fabric, haberdashery, and sewing supplies. The running of sewing classes and the service and repair of sewing machines are important compatible components of the business. The business has no other machine sales competition in the Woden area. Canberra Sewing is a Babylock, Brother and Singer brand dealer. The business has proven to be both COVID-proof and recession-proof over all these many years.

This busy business has 6 employees including the owner. This includes 2 machine mechanics and 3 sales personnel for the front of the shop. The business is well supported by locals and the regional population. Regular newsletters keep our customers in touch and we have a modern website.
