Does your machine have a manual?
Is your machine portable? i.e. is it made to sit on a table easily and is not made to be in a cabinet?
Does your machine weigh less than 30 pounds?
Is your machine “cam-less”? That is, is it a model that doesn’t use cams for decorative stitches?
If your machine is a serger, it needs to be at least a 4 thread and have dual feed.
Any machine with embroidery capability must be first and foremost, a sewing machine. We cannot accept “embroidery only” machines.
If your answer to all of these is yes – thank you! We would be happy to accept your machine!
When you donate a sewing machine, please consider making a financial donation as well. A $40 donation, accompanying a machine would pay for its packing materials and transport.
