Paul, is great, took my very old machine to him. Took him about four minutes to work out that is was me and not the MACHINE!!! I was ready to throw it out of the top storey. He did not make me feel silly. Toddled home with said machine and finished my repairs. Have used Paul before, and highly recommend him. Many thanks for your help Paul

I have bought an excellent Bernina sewing machine. The owner Paul Sheffield has provided me all information I need to start my sewing career. I am grateful for the time, effort and energy Paul had given me to explain every detail. His service is splendid and I highly recommend his business to all my friends and family.

Very pleased with his service. My Toyota machine did not have spare parts in NZ so he couldn't repair the machine but no charge. Thanks Paul, for all your help. A very nice person to deal with

Nice fellow. The mechanism was so stiff on my little Elna machine and he did his best to loosen it up. However no charge for me but I think its still better than it was. Thanks very much.

Thank you so much Paul for getting my old Bernina up and running smoothly and especially as you didn't charge me!!! One very happy customer who highly recommends your services.

Excellent and speedy service with great communication. Paul was very quick to identify the issues with my Bernina Sport 801, and the work was done promptly. Happy to recommend him.

Paul is amazing. He is an excellent trader, I have purchased three sewing machines from him over the years, and last night I had problems with myJuki, and he phoned and we sorted the problem over the phone! No charge! This is the second time he has done this for me. Top trader and experienced person to help with sewing problems. Highly recommend! Rae

What a fantastic trader!!Paul fixed my old machine on the spot and then didn't charge me. Very helpful and knowledgeable. The world is a better place for having people like Paul in it Thank You Paul :-) Regards Rae

Fantastic service, he looked at my old Singer sewing machine, fixed the problem in about 5mins then refused to take payment. What a great trader!!!!! Highly recommend him to anyone. A+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Paul is very knowledgable and willing to help with any sort of sewing machine problem. I found him to be kind and generous with his time, and very clear with his instructions, as he was guiding me over the phone. With his help we solved the problem on my Bernina 1130 and I now have a functional machine again. He is one of those increasingly rare individuals who is curios about how things work and is willing to bring his talents to solving unexpected and sometimes novel problems. thanks Mary

Thank you for working on my three machines Paul. It's like having new machines - they are so quiet. I will not take my machines to anyone else while you are in business!

Dear Paul, > Thank you so much for the beautiful Bernina overlocker you have sent. > Thank you for so carefully packaging it and for your amazing written notes. Just can’t thank you enough. > I spent some time last night getting acquainted and it runs like a dream. > I even took the bull by the horns and decided to give re-threading a go - it’s fantastic - no trouble at all > wouldn’t shop anywhere else now, even though we live hundreds of kms away. >

Paul was excellent in his advice and also in providing a very prompt service. I had initially sent my machine to another (recommended) technician and finally gave up after 7 months and lots of promises (and absolutely nothing done to it). I was very relieved that Paul dealt with my machine so quickly (within a week) - I should have gone to Paul first up (will certainly be doing so for any future requirements).

I'm very grateful to Paul for his honest advice. He couldn't fault my old Toyota sewing machine and instead gave me pointers in how to operate it correctly - all free and an hour after contacting him. You can't get better than that! Will definitely be using him for sewing machine services. Thanks, Paul. Tracy

Paul is just brilliant - if he can't fix it then probably nobody can - he fixed the foot of my machine when my own dealer said it couldn't be done. And he's honest and fair with reasonable prices too. Bought my first machine from him well over 30 years ago and only recently "discovered" him again. I was so excited. He fixed my machine in less than a week. I was delighted with the price too. A+ for both technical skills and honest business dealings.

Paul is awesome! Easy to contact, friendly, and highly knowledgeable. Has fixed two machines for me, my own and my mothers, both work like new again! I appreciate the honesty on other/older machines that can't be fixed. Will continue to bring my machines to Paul. I'm a very happy customer!

Paul is FANTASTIC i took two overlockers to him and he told me which one was worth the money and repaired it restored it and i absolutely love having it! Hes flexible and helpful Thank you so much Paul

Paul is awesome!! highly recommend for good honest opinions on your machine and advice to boot, I learnt something new that I had never been taught by anyone!! Thank you for your time and advice, much appreciated!

Fantastic, loving my Bernina!

I popped in to see Paul with a troublesome overlocker which had supposedly been repaired by someone else. He was so kind and very generous with his time, looking at my machine then and there and making a few adaptions to maximise it so i could take it home for my daughter to use before sending it back to get fixed. Thank you so much! This gentleman is a true gem. I can't recommend him more highly!

Thank you Paul for making my Babylock just like new again, a very honest and helpful man. I would recommend him to anyone for sewing machine repairs, purchases and advice. Thanks again. Cheers Robin

Paul gave expert advice on my machine which was not worth repairing. He sold me another machine. I had that in four days despite living miles from Auckland. An honest, professional man who is an expert in machines. Thank you very much Paul. The new machine is wonderful.

Paul is fantastic. He fixed my sewing machine and overlocker. He's honest, straight up, skilled, quick and very helpful. Can't recommend him highly enough. :)

Paul is very knowledgeable, quick, up-front, pleasant... and dealt with my 46 year old Elna really efficiently and effectively. HIGHLY recommended.

Thank you for extremely professional and obliging, honest service. I posted a broken foot control to Paul on a Monday and had it back by Thursday, all much better than new!! Very reasonable price to be fixed - just as he said. HIGHLY recommended to all who have any machine repairs or queries. Thank you so much.

Purchased a machine recently and am exceptionally happy with it. Paul was very helpful in advising me about any details/questions I had. A very efficient trader who I would recommend to anyone - had and have full confidence in his dealings. Thanks Paul!

My Husqvarna is now running sweetly after a big repair job. Paul was honest about the cost and further work that might be needed. I asked him to go ahead with the work because the old machine is important to me and he did a great job.

Hi Paul Your advice on motor controller worked Many thanks Cheers Les

My overlocker is the best it has ever been. Paul overhauled it and fixed it within a couple of days and also gave me valuable advice about my Bernina when I went to pick up the overlocker. I will highly recommend him for sewing machine repairs. He also has threads, needles, and refurbished machines. What a great find! Nice bloke, too!

Paul helped me get a Janome part for my sewing machine. Its great dealing with someone who actually follows through with an enquiry from start to finish. I can certainly recommend Paul to everyone :o)

I had my sewing machine fixed by Paul and it now works beautifully! I wish I had known this place sooner, I highly recommend it :) -Juli

I can not recommend Paul and his knowledge and ability enough. I purchased a second hand overlocker from him for my daughter who just loves it, I also sent my 25 year old overlocker up to him to service and it had ceased due to lack of use for 18 years. My overlocker was returned (to Nelson) within the week running better than it ever did. The advice and service are second to none. Thank you so much Paul

Amazing service , I posted a broken foot controller on Monday from Warkworth and it was back in my hands Wednesday repaired. Paul always stands by his work and is incredibly helpful. Thanks again.

Paul has serviced old elna overlocker (compliments of mum inlaw) and shown me how to use it and serviced my old singer to keep it runnin while Ive been saving up fro the beautiful new mint second hand benina that Im buying from Paul soon. Cant wait. He oes the best job with the old machines I have brought him. Will keep coming back for all my servicing. Thanks Paul your efficent and helpful.

I have no hesitation in recommending your firm as I found the communication and service excellent. A++ Thanks

Thanks so much for your help with my recent purchase of a Bernina 801 Sport to replace my defunct 730. Your good advice and customer service were invaluable. I'm very happy with my new machine!

Fabulous service! Highly recommend :-)

Great service - thanks Paul

Fantastic service from an expert. Paul is a true gem. Having had a few machines fixed by him and following his recommendation to buy another machine I am very very pleased with everything he has done and recommended. He is very obliging time-wise as well and has unlimited patience in explaining how things work and making sure you know how to operate the machine.

I'm enjoying the Bernina 1008, it's a great replacement for my old 730. Thanks for your careful instructions - and also many thanks for the needle threader, which is brilliant! Aroha45

Thank you Paul for your care and attention to detail and going the extra mile when overhauling our old Bernina 731 machine. It runs like new.

Paul has come to our rescue and done a magnificent repair to our overlocker which another service centre had made a mess of when they incorrectly timed a cog. We live in Napier and so it is a long way to send a machine for repair but it was well worth it. Thank you Paul for your excellent service, quick turn around and very reasonable price. The machine is running perfectly again and is as good as new. Paul communicates effectively and you can trust him. He is the best !!

Friendly, efficient repairer for my sewing machine. A job well very well done. Thanks

Paul is a real find! My beloved Elna Stella died after almost 30 years of happy sewing, and was with another repairer for five months while he tried in vain all over the world, it seemed, to find a replacement motor and in the end had to give up . By a happy chance I Googled "Elna sewing machine repairs" and up came the Greenlane Sewing Centre website. After just one week I have my machine back restored to its old self. Wellworth the trip from the North Shore to Greenlane.

Great service, Paul is very professional and highly skilled. Fast and efficient service! HIGHLY RECOMEND!

Thanks for fixing my Bernina Nova. Going like a charm again.

Paul is great! He gave me an honest assessment and quote for a used overlocker I bought on TradeMe, which had not been used in ages, and fixed her up beautifully. Very pleasant to deal with as well. I will definitely bring future repairs to Paul!
