Tyler Stanley, technician and owner, worked at Sew Portland on Warren Ave. in Portland, ME where he repaired machines and managed the store since its inception in 2007. Sew Portland was owned by Kathy Stanley (yes she's Tyler's mom), who lives in Lamoine, Maine and also is the owner/operator of Sewing by the Sea in Trenton, Maine.
Sewing by the Sea has been serving sewing enthusiasts in Downeast Maine since 1994. After it became impractical for Kathy to continue owning 2 stores in opposite corners of the State, Sew Portland closed and Tyler looked to find a small space where he could continue to repair machines. And in particular, continue the service commitments to customers who had purchased new PFAFF and Husqvarna Viking machines at Sew Portland.

I was looking to upgrade an old sewing machine during Covid and could not find any in stock anywhere. I went into Sewing Machine Exchange just to look and it was the best decision I ever made for my sewing hobby! I wound up buying a fantastic machine that I love and I have been back multiple times to talk to Jennifer and Tyler (the owner) about tips and tricks, and purchase items for my new quilting obsession (easy on my Viking!) . The staff is SO knowledgeable, friendly and eager to help. This store is a great example of a small business that makes the customer the priority, which is why I highly

Tyler at the Sewing Machine Exchange is the guy to go to for repairs on existing machines or to purchase new machines in the greater Portland area. Customer Service is extremely important for me and this place nails it with a very knowledgeable and friendly staff. Don't buy a sewing machine online when you can get a great price, excellent insight into how the machine works all while helping support a local, family business. Highly recommended!!
