Good things happen at Montavilla. Both my sister and I have nice sewing/quilting machines from there. She just had hers in for a service update, and they handled it well in a rea...

Montavilla Sewing Center was very helpful in my selection of a new sewing machine. I wanted a machine that could handle heavy and thick fabric like layers of denim. I chose a Hu...

I visited Montavilla Sewing to get a diagnosis for my vintage Husqvarna sewing machine. Overall I found the repair service helpful and prompt. I would trust Montavilla Sewing more than any other vacuum and sewing machine shop. more

dishonest, massive rip off artists 11/23/2010

why dont these people care that they are ripping people off and none of thier customers are happy or satisfied in the least? i mean, read the rest of these reviews! any reputable business would be horrified at these reviews! we all know you simply can not please everyone and a few unhappy customers are bound to happen now and then ...but this?! it seems like everyone had just as horrible an exspirence as i did! more

Exemplary staff. 11/5/2010

I was simply impressed by their honesty,and generosity.I called,before taking my sewing machine to them,and explained the problem."Bring it in" Adam said.I did.He helped me carry it in,looked into what I thought was the problem,adjusted three of the knobs,ran a perfect straight stitch,and said I'am good to go.No charge. Unbelievable. I will take him a box of "See's" for Thanksgiving. more

happy sewer 4/7/2010

We have been gong to this center for quite sometime. They have good products and talk with you about your individual needs and then help you witht he best fit of machine and service doesn't end there. They teach you how to use your new machine also, Support and repairs are always available. more

Nice sewing center 2/17/2010

We bought 3 machines at this location at Christmastime and feel like we were treated well. The support for the owner is really good, including classes on how to use the machine(s). more

Never going back 11/18/2008

My sister and I went to buy new thread and needles, to use on a heavy fabric to make curtains. The service was horrible, the woman who originally ""helped"" us was rude and curt. We weren't sure what we needed and her blaming it on the thread we had saying it ""must be old"" ( it was used to make a Halloween costume three weeks ago) didn't help. Obviously we were beneath her level of expertise and she made that abundantly clear. When we went to check out we asked if we had the right things, the cashier said no. So we went to find other thread and needles. Since all five of the needles broke, despite the tension being correct and the machine being recently serviced, somehow I don't think they were indeed ""right."" I would not recommend it unless you don't need any help and enjoy being treated poorly. The best part is on the drive we were discussing taking classes there, after today I wouldn't go back if they were last sewing place in Portland, which luckily they aren't. Cons: Horrilbe service more

Montavilla IS THE BEST 11/11/2008

When I moved out of state, I found this website and called Montavilla...they found what I needed, did an online sales and I had what I ordered in a week! My mom and I have shopped Montavilla for years! When I need anything for my machines I know who to contact. Even being out of state, I wouldn't go anywhere else for the parts that I need. Some how they can find those hard to find parts and not over charge like some companies do. Pros: they can find what is needed Cons: can't think of any more

Awful, terrible customer service, swine, ghoulish sales people. 10/4/2007

I bought a $300 machine that I was told was the best in its class, and because of the bobbin, it would never or rarely jam. Jammed the forth day I had it, broke needle, and then machine wouldn't sew. Took it to the store on 82nd, and one of the service guys tried to sell me another machine twice the amount as the current broken machine. He also down-played my machine and contradicted the sales guy from the other sister store. Service manager was a total swine, and refused to replace the machine, blaming it on the store manager's decision. He told me that he would fix it, but that there was a back-log at ""his"" store and to take it to the store I bought it if I wanted to exchange it for a new one. Terrible customer service. No apology for the inconvenience. Unethical sales people. Rude, disrespectful. Unprofessional. Save your money and go to Target or Wal-Mart at least if your machine breaks you can scoop the pieces up and get a new machine or your money back. more

Great service! 9/12/2007

Somehow, I managed to lose the thread spindles to my vintage sewing machine... and I have to admit that I was pretty worried. After all, the machine is nearly 40 years old. But Montavilla had me covered. For a mere $2, they replaced the spindles and even carried the sewing machine out to my car for me. Pros: plenty of parking, kind service more
