We're independent sewing machine technicians who are hopelessly in love with the incredibly beautiful styling and quality of these fine all-steel-drive machines. Collectively we've been repairing and restoring vintage sewing machines for over 35 years. I've been a gas company crew leader, an electronic cash register technician, and an antiques dealer (among other things). I'm also eccentric, slightly cranky at times, and probably too sentimental. TR has worked for Singer and had the benefit of training from the Old Guys who've Been There for a Long Time. She's a musician (actually a locally famous bass goddess), technician, seamstress, artist, genius and all-around wise woman. Her cats and chickens follow her around with love and devotion. As a sewing machine technicians, we have hundreds of happy customers, and have restored hundreds of fine, vintage sewing machines. Find our website at StagecoachRoadSewing.com to see more beautifully restored Japanese, American, and European sewing machines, and to read about our amazing Lifetime Guarantee. We live off the beaten path, in the Coast Range of Oregon, alongside a pristine river, with a group of scientists, musicians, artists, and all-around geniuses.

This Kenmore 18033 impressed me, with lots of power and a feel of precision machinery. She comes with a load of goodies, too.

This pretty Adler is on her way to her new home in Arlington Virginia. Thanks, Liza!

In this final test/tutorial video, see how to thread her up, how to wind the bobbin, and how to operate the machine.

Oh, yes, when you buy a machine from us, we'll make a video for you, too, on your own machine.

What a sweet machine. Not just pretty, but a fine, precision tool.In this video, see how to wind the bobbin, how to thread her up, and how to use the machine...

Tragic Kitten Meltdown!

Unfortunately all of the kittens in the Leisure Lodge were melted today when indoor temps far exceeded the damp outdoor temperatures.

Kitten energy was later restored, resulting in chaos as the kittens ran amok, bouncing off walls and assaulting one another in mock battles and in hot pursuit of everything that rolls or skitters.

This one, I brought out of the warehouse and did a full service on because I had a special sewing project I wanted to do that involved sewing 4 layers of thick gament leather. She breezed through it.

She's a Kenmore 18033, a solid machine that does straight-stitch, zigzag, stretch-stitches, and reverse stitches, and she comes with her stitch pattern cams, button holer, scads of attachments, how-to cards, and a monogrammer.

If you're looking for something awesome at a reasonable price for yourself, this could be it. Or show it to your loved one and see how excited they get.

This one is everything you need and more.

If you're local to us, near Eugene, Oregon, we can have her exterior detailed so she looks brand new, before you can get here to pick her up.

Special (extra special) Christmas price:

$350.00, local pickup.

I swapped a knife-maker friend a sewing machine for a custom made knife.

Josh wanted a machine that could sew multiple layers of thick upholsery-type leather, so after much testing and the addition of a leather needle and roller foot, this mid-century Japanese class 15 machine is doing exactly that.

In this tutorial video you'll see how to wind the bobbin, how to thread the machine, and how to use all the various controls.

This should apply to nearly all of the class 15, "clone" machines (if yours says,"Japan" and looks like this one, it's probably a class 15 machine).

We are Stagecoach Road Vintage Sewing Machine Restoration and we've been restoring worthy sewing machines since the last part of the last century.

We're good at it and we can restore yours.

I had an old rusty railroad spike, and I have a friend that is a blacksmith. Christmas is coming and I wanted a special gift for a loved one.Josh is a knife ...

I wanted a special and unique gift for a loved one, and I had a rusty railroad spike and a friend that's a knife-maker. He wanted a sewing machine. We were both entirely satisfied with the results.

Here is a tutorial video we made for Josh's class 15 Colonial 1951, set up for him to sew soft leather, with a #16 leather needle and a roller foot.

In the video we go over how to thread the machine, how to wind the bobbin, and how to work the machine.

This info applies to nearly all of the mid-Century Japanese class 15 machines, sometimes called "clones" because they are patterned after Singer's class 15 machines.

We are Stagecoach Road Vintage Sewing Machine Restoration and we've been restoring worthy sewing machines since the last part of the previous century.

We're good at it and we can restore yours.

Who Are We?

As best I can figure, I’ve restored around a thousand worthy vintage sewing machines since I got hooked by them. Of course, every day I learn new things and better ways to bring back these fine machines. TR has worked for Singer and had the benefit of training from the Old Guys who've Been There for a Long Time. She's a musician (actually a locally famous bass goddess), technician, seamstress, artist, genius and all-around wise woman. Her cats and chickens follow her around with love and devotion.

TR was my inspiration for learning to restore sewing machines, a long, long time ago. She performs our quality control final check, stars in our videos, repairs machines, listens with a sympathetic ear, and always gets excited when we bring home a cool, vintage machine.

New to our crew is Linda, a very focused individual when she’s detailing your machine. She came to us four years ago, cleaning and polishing the exterior of the restored machines. With her tiny tools and brushes she searches out the tiny accumulations of grime that hide in the corners, the screw slots, between planes of the machine, and in the knurling of the thumb-screws and brings each machine back to the best appearance possible.

For the past couple of years, Linda has been assisting with repairs and just recently she’s been applying her considerable mechanical talents to learn how to restore the machines.

She’s a lover of horses, kitties, and chickens, and besides the fine work she does with your sewing machine, she does horse-sitting (and other animals, too).

Even more recently, Joey has joined our crew as a detailer. She’s one of those people who just seems to be naturally good at everything she does, from making pies to brewing beer, to growing things, and detailing sewing machines. When Joey details your machine, she does it right.

When she’s not detailing machines or making something delicious, or just residing and being Leisurely, she returns to Portland Oregon, where she maintains her circle of friends and family, and is in demand as a model for artists and photographers.

Another personality at Stagecoach Road Vintage Sewing Machine has to be the bus. She’s our vintage sewing machine restoration shop, here at Leisureland Community. She’s set up with work benches, swinging stools, built-in vacuum system, sink, and more, but best of all is the light. With all her windows there’s finally enough light.

Our 1949 Diamond T school bus doesn’t travel any more, but she used to be a mobile dental clinic. The dental chair, swinging dentist and assistant stools, vintage X-Ray machine, suction, etc. all came out of the San Fransisco office of Dr. Painless Parker, a colorful side-show-type dentist from the turn of the last Century.

Dr. James Webb owned the bus and traveled the hip communities scattered throughout the mountains, valleys, and towns of the Northwest and Northern California bringing dental care to the rural-living folks there. More than once, a customer has brought a machine to be restored and looking up reminisced about staring up through our skylight as Doc Webb fixed them up.

If you’ve looked at the house bus book, “Some Turtles Have Nice Shells” you may have seen a little black and white picture of the bus, back when Doc Webb was set up in downtown Eugene.

Out here at Leisureland Community, we live off the beaten path, in the Coast Range of Oregon, alongside a pristine river, with a group of scientists, musicians, artists, and all-around geniuses. See the website for a glimpse of the life at Leisureland.
