MACHINE REPAIRS

It has come to our attention that some incorrect information is being circulated about the Indiana Quilt Depot. This notice is being sent out to set the record straight.

NO, we are NOT NINE (9) MONTHS behind in repairs as being reported. Yes, in the past we have had quite the backlog. Since August, Paul Huntsman has been working for us as a repair tech. Paul has a LONG history of machine repair. With Paul’s assistance we have, for the most part got caught up. IN FACT, we are currently averaging a 3 day (or less) turn around on services. Repairs requiring parts will take longer.

Reports that we are referring out services is not totally true. We will refer out services on current, computerize machines of other brands and then ONLY to brand certified facilities. The reason for this is that unless certified by the brand it is difficult, if not impossible, to get repair parts, service manuals, and other items required for repair of current production machines. We have good working relationships with most of the shops certified on other brands in the area.

Reports that, “starting the first of the year we will only be servicing Husqvarna Machines” is again a TOTAL fabrication. We have EVERY intention of CONTINUING to SERVICE ALL older model machines.

We are authorized Husqvarna-Viking and Singer repair facility. In a few weeks, after attending training in Nashville we will be a certified Pfaff dealer and certified repair facility.

IF you have questions please feel free to contact us and we will address the issue.
