Repair service

We are often told that it is rare to find a repair shop nowadays.Well the shop may have an enhanced look with more selection of machines for sale (27 models on average) but behind the scenes the repair shop is the same as it has been when the majority of work would have been on the old black singers.

The antique cabinets are still packed with parts  we have recycled old and newer.

Now we also repair the overlockers and computerised models, we are happy to try and repair machines in all conditions (often rescued from sheds or garages) and do not charge if we can't fix. So what have you got to lose? Dig out the old sewing machine and get sewing again!http://sewingmachineslancashire.com/#/repair-service/4546580856

Singer Featherweight Sewing Machine


 From time to time we come across a real little gem such as a singer featherweight.
This one came with case and contents!


  • It has an electic motor and foot control.
  • The 221K is not as sought after as the 222K but a gem in itself.
  • The case is only 30x30cm and owners rarely want to part.See our latest one

Eco machine


 Living near to the Leeds Liverpool canal (2mins walk)  we get more than a few enquiries for the vintage singer hand machines. On occasion we even remove old electrics and replace with a hand set for use on the narrow boats. They have the authentic look plus do not worry about voltage etc.

Bygone Era

Old black singer sewing machines are back in fashion. This week has seen a run on them. Reconditioned and re equipped with new motor and foot control, these vintage machines are just the job for a new strain of customer.

  Male D.I.Y. enthusiasts (whose hobbies include making tents, canvas bags, and re upholstering collectors cars,) have rediscovered the straight stitch singer which with the correct needle laughs at the difficult sewing jobs.

 The engineering of these machines is timeless and much appreciated by our increasing number of enthusiasts, some start off a little shy (after all this would traditionally be seen as a female domain) but as soon as it is clear that there is no prejudice of any kind at Lestans, we share their tales of achievement.

Start of an era

For over 45 years Lestan sewing machines has been a backwater shop in Nelson lancashire. Now with new internet links we are http://www.sewingmachineslancashire.com/ The shop is still here, as you can see by the site, but now we trade 24/7.

Engineering is our love and we still lovingly refurbish your cherished friends. Yes thats the term most of our customers use about their machines. When they are finally laid to rest we help find a replacement which will be a quality product with engineering we can be sure of.
