What is decided on-site and what can be handled remotely
The test: in-store
Noise under load and feeding through three layers distinguish the models within minutes. This cannot be delegated, and the guide which sewing machine to choose for beginners prepares you for the visit.
Getting started: your choice
More than an hour, included with every machine purchase. From Overijse, twenty minutes is enough to come back, but the remote option is also available. The programme includes threading, tension settings and useful stitches.
Delivery: everywhere
Free for purchases over €500 on machines and from €75 on fabrics, cut to the ordered length. See the delivery costs.
The workshop: a round trip
A message beforehand indicates whether the problem can be solved by readjusting the machine or whether it needs to be brought in.
How a purchase works, from the door to the first stitch
- You tell us what you sewJersey, a wool coat, leather goods, quilting: each answer eliminates half the range.
- We bring out two or three machinesNot ten. You sew on them, using your own fabric if you have brought some.
- You leave with it, or it follows youAdjusted and ready. Delivery is free for purchases over €500.
- Getting startedMore than an hour, included. In-store or remotely, as you prefer.
- The workshop takes over afterwards5-year warranty, servicing every two years, repairs for all brands.
Machines by use

- Machines for beginners, mechanical or electronic.
- Semi-professional models for demanding sewing.

The workshop: repair and servicing for all brands
The workshop accepts all brands, including machines purchased from Verotex and those bought elsewhere, with a quote provided before any work. Almost everything is repaired on site; the part is sent to the manufacturer only when there is no other solution. BERNINA machines are repaired regardless of their age.
Servicing every two years is sufficient for regular use, and once a year for intensive use: lint compacts beneath the feed dogs, the tensions eventually slip, and the stitch deteriorates before you notice it. From Overijse, the trip is short, and sending a message beforehand avoids a wasted journey. Between visits, cleaning your overlocker is easy to do at home. For everything else, see the repair and servicing service.
Fabrics, haberdashery supplies and patterns
Fabrics are cut by the metre, to order, and shipped everywhere. The drape of viscose, the weight of French Terry, and the hand of linen are best judged between your fingers: just a twenty-minute drive away, it is worth the trip before ordering. Cotton poplin, denim, double gauze , and organic fabrics make up most of the cuts that are shipped.
Also available are haberdashery supplies, sewing patterns, machine accessories, and the guide to finding the grainline.
Learn to sew from Overijse
Sewing and pattern-making classes are held in Grez-Doiceau, in small groups, in French. There are also children's classes and classes held off-site. The space can be rented for a sewing team-building event or a birthday party.
Is the trip worth it?
Yes, if
- you are buying a machine: a single visit is enough to make your choice;
- your machine is making a new noise or skipping stitches;
- you want to see and touch the fabrics before ordering.
Not necessarily, if
- you already know which model you want: free delivery for purchases over €500, with remote assistance;
- you order fabric: it is cut by the metre and shipped by carrier;
- it is a simple adjustment: the message often fixes it.
