"Canberra Sewing" is long-standing in the ACT specializing in the sale and service of sewing machines, embroidery machines, and overlockers for both residential and industrial requirements. Established almost 30 years since 1993 with the current owner, first as The Bernina Sewing Entre, then Stitches of Canberra, and now as Canberra Sewing.
Originally known as the Bernina Sewing Center then located in Kingston, ACT, we moved to Phillip, ACT in 1995. Phillip (Woden area of Canberra) is a very central Canberra location. In addition to the sale of sewing and embroidery machines, the business conducts 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 the sole Babylock dealer/supplier for the ACT, is a Platignum Brother machine dealer, and is a Singer machine dealer. The business has proven to be both COVID-proof and recession-proof over all these years.
This busy business has 5 employees including the owner. This includes 2 machine mechanics and 2 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.
