I had a wonderful experience at AAA Sewing. As someone who is new to sewing, I appreciated how patient, knowledgeable, and welcoming the staff were. They took the time to answer my questions and helped me find exactly what I needed without making me feel rushed or overwhelmed. I left with fabric for two dresses, a skirt, an apron, and zippers, and I felt confident in my purchases thanks to their guidance. I also learned they offer sewing machine and serger repair. I don't own a serger yet, but it's reassuring to know my sewing machine will be in good hands if it ever needs servicing. I'm looking forward to taking one of their sewing classes to build my beginner sewing skills. It's great to have a local shop that not only sells quality supplies but also supports sewists through education and repair services. I highly recommend AAA Sewing to anyone, whether you're just getting started or have years of sewing experience. I'll definitely be back! read more

See all

Took my sewing machine in to have the hand wheel replaced and have an overhaul of the machine. Took weeks to get it back. And they couldn't find a hand wheel, but never let me know before they called me to pick it up. So, I am not impressed., read more

I buy all my thread here and lots of other sewing notions. Everyone is very helpful and friendly.

Love, love, love this shop! I highly recommend them. Salima and Amina are very knowledgeable and offer excellent service!

I purchased a Bernina Sewing from they. The service was excellent, Lynn who helped go over all the basic's with me really was helpful. I also brought in a sewing machine in for repair, they did an excellent repair on that as well. I drove their from Oxnard because of the review I read, I'm very grateful. For the entire staff thank you so much for helping me. Lori D read more

I have had all three of my machines serviced, and they have done an excellent job. Rehabilitating two antique machines was especially impressive. This is a family operation and they are always helpful and knowledgeable. They carry high quality fabrics and supplies. read more

Great, great store. I have purchased sewing machines, sergers and fabric from AAA Sewing and Fabric for many years. Salima and her staff are professional, super friendly and very knowledgeable. Her service department is fantastic and her new location is super easy to access. The store is super cute and her fabric selections are gorgeous. With COVID restrictions lifted, Salima is able to offer in house classes, along with her Zoom classes. It's so much fun to finally be able to get together with other sewing enthusiasts in person, whether taking a class or coming in to shop. You will love Salima, her mom Amina, her dad Amad, Lynne, Adela and Beto. read more

I need to find machines fixed and I called them and asked them for a estimate price and they said bring it in and will tell you. When I get there they tell me it's $95. And that doesn't even cover the cost of the service and parts. I thought that was way over priced and it took them 10 days to fix it. Plus they're from another country, and they're very hard to understand. I went to another place before and they weren't charging that much but this place was close by and as I said I didn't know until I got there how much they were going to charge. I should've just taken my machines and gone elsewhere. read more

Have spent what I consider a fair amount of money in this store. Buying two Baby Lock machines, one serger and one embroidery and a Koala sewing cabinet and chair. Have had both machines regularly serviced at AAA. Today my serger had a jam and I had a customer waiting on a project, so I needed the jam cleared out. I take it in and am quoted 5 days turn around and $125 for a complete service. Well, it just had a complete service only 18 months before and the machine had not been used in a year. After arguing with them woman behind the desk (she tells me I did not have the machine serviced recently, while there was a dated sticker still on the machine cover from AAA) she agrees they can have the machine back within 2 days and will cost $89. Eighty nine dollars to remove some jammed material? That seems way out of line. A fair price would have been $49. or $59 at the most. Will not bring my machines back here and recommend you don't either. Might add the owner Salima is very nice, however she was not in today. read more

Recently had to take my sewing/embroidery machine in for service for an error message I was getting. It was also time for a tuneup. My machine was ready within a week and is like brand new. The error message was actually user error so I just paid for the tune-up. My sewing machine tote was even cleaned for me. Not to mention thr super friendly staff ! read more

I LOVE this store. They always provide great service and in this crazy COVID environment they strive to continue that trend. Do you like to take classes? AAA offers lots of online classes and special events. These are great because you attend via Zoom in the comfort of your home. The teachers are all awesome and love to share their knowledge. They have a beautiful selection of fabrics. If you can't visit the store, consider participating in the weekly Facebook sale on Wednesdays at 6:30pm. Visit their website to see all that is going on. If you are in the market for a new sewing machine or an upgrade, visit this store. They will help you decide on the machine that best suits your needs and budget. read more

While in the middle of a gift was completing my sewing machine and embroidery arm wouldn't calibrate. No matter what I tried, I couldn't work past the problem. I called AAA and they asked me a few questions on the phone to see if it's something I was doing wrong and determined my machine needed to be seen to get a quote. I drove right over and dropped off my machine (late in the day) and they wrote up the work ticket. I explained that I only had 5 more days to finish the gift I was making. The very next day they called with the estimate. It needed a part for the arm (I had not been covering my machine in between uses at all) and that caused a problem. I was so happy when they said they have it stock! I was way overdue for a regular service so I asked them to complete that while it was there. Not only was the price excellent, I will be getting it back in plenty of time to finish up the gift! I'm so happy with AAA and the family that runs it. I've been a customer since I purchased my machine, which was a discounted floor model, a few years back. It's been such a good decision to buy/learn/shop and now repair there. With very few shops like this left around, I'm happy to support one that's family run in my community. read more

They not only sell fabrics , but they also fix your sewing machines . I'm planning to buy one soon too. Amazing place ! We need a place like this ! read more

I am not a seamstress but I have a sewing machine and needed to duplicate a bellyband needed for a male dog. I already had one but couldn't find anymore online of the same quality so I decided to make my own. I took the sample of the one I had into AAA and asked their help in figuring out what to use for the inner lining. It needed to be something pliable but something that would hold its shape over time. Two ladies went to work and came up with the perfect solution. They were more than willing to help and hopefully a bit excited about helping with an item they hadn't done before. I walked away with just what I needed and in the end, what they suggested worked out perfectly! Thank you AAA Sewing. read more

My poor Pfaff (from the 80's) needed some love. I've had it for 30 years, and recently it started acting up. (I e never had any work done on it. ) They're authorized repair, so took my machine when we visited my dad in South Bay (no places near us here in DTLA). Got an estimate for tune up, but wasn't surprised the poor thing needed a clutch. It acts like it's a new machine. Thanks for making him new again! read more

I paid $95 for AAA to clean and tune my sewing machine. I dropped it off with a spool of thread and a full bobbin I had just made for the project I was working on. Today I picked up my machine but the bobbin was white instead of being blue. When I asked for my bobbin back, I was told that they threw all my thread out! I told them that they should have told me they would throw it away and I would have kept it or bought an empty bobbin to leave with the machine. The owner came out and said my Gutterman thread was terrible thread and what they threw out was "just a few cents worth"....no apologies, no offers to make it right, only comments that my choice of thread was TRASH. She finally offered me "a few cents" for the thread, which I turned down. I will now need to buy another spool of thread to match my project and I didn't want to buy their overpriced thread. Also, it was the principle of the matter. Maybe if she had apologized I would feel differently but I didn't feel valued as a customer or as a person. I won't be going back and I would NEVER recommend them. Their material and thread is also WAY OVERPRICED! read more

Rude. Rude. Rude. This place is very close to home, but I will not give them my business or money anymore. I was out with my 2 dachshunds, and popped in for a spool of black thread to finish a project. She looked at me like I had 2 leashed bags of excrement, and snarled - some customers might be allergic. I told her I just wanted thread and would leave. With a sour look on her face, she sold me the (overpriced) thread and asked me to leave. On the way out, a serger caught my eye and I stopped to look. I'm on the market for a serger. She yelled from across the room - ALLERGIC! LEAVE!! You bet I left, you old animal hating cow, and I won't ever be back. read more

I bought an expensive sewing machine at this store 3 yrs ago. I took it in for service 1 month ago. I was given as estimate of 1 week turnaround. I also asked for a maintenance service. Over the past month, they have never called me. I have called weekly and been told they ordered a part that would take a week. They said they expected it in last week. No call. They said they would check UPS for tracking/estimated delivery. No call. They said they would call Pfaff and would call me. No call. Today I checked with another sewing machine repair company which called Pfaff about the necessary part and was told it was in stock, estimated delivery time 1 week. I finally went to AAA and picked up my machine today - they had done NO SERVICE. I took it to the other sewing machine repair business that cared enough to call Pfaff and called me back. Over the past 3 years, I only felt like people at AAA paid any real interest in me when I bought the machine. The quilting classes were too limited. Some sales people were nice, but owners (especially female owner ) were indifferent and not service oriented. If they really want their business to withstand COVID, I would think customer service and working longer than 10 am-3 pm should be important. As a follow-up, I picked up my machine I repaired, from AAA, took it to Tanner's Sewing and Vacuum Center in LA. They ordered the necessary part, completed repair in less than 2 weeks. read more

I purchased a Babylock sewing machine from here in June. It was "on sale" and was told when they are gone, they are gone! come to find out later all Babylock Jubilants are this price. There really wasn't a sale. I was also told I would receive a class for free that would teach me everything I needed to know about the machine. I was very excited to get started! There wasn't a class scheduled as of yet but I was told I would be notified soon! I was never notified. I called in august wondering and was told there was no class on the schedule and they weren't sure when one would be added. Hmmm... well, 3 months later, I have taught myself through YouTube and friends. I asi purchased a $40 off brand walking foot. The foot has broken 3 times and I finally bought a $60 Babylock one that works wonderfully. Im sad I never got to take the class and disappointed I waisted $40 on a foot that I needed to toss. read more

Such a cute store looks like it's been here since the 70s. They have a big classroom for sewing lessons, lots of remnants and a nice selection of fabrics- lots of Halloween!! I can't wait to go back to support local. I'm so happy to see a mom and pop shop still open when there are only Jo-Ann's left out there. read more

I have been a customer of AAA Sewing and Fabric since 1999 when I bought a Pfaff 7570 from them. I have purchased a Destiny. I purchased a little Brothers machine recently for my granddaughter from them. I have a Janome that I did not purchase from them. I took my Janome into a repair shop on Artesia Blvd, twice to have it repaired and it still skips stitches. I thought they would not repair a machine I did not buy from AAA. Today I took it to AAA Sewing. Aman, Amina and Salima are fixing my machine FREE. The customer service they provide is outstanding. They treat us like family. I couldn't be happier. A month or so ago they just dusted and cleaned my Destiny and it sews like a dream. Thank you Aman, Amina and Salima. read more

This little store went above and beyond exceeding my expectations as a first time buyer of a sewing machine. Absolutely 100% recommend it. First we were greeted by Ameena who was extremely helpful in showing us some of the machines that they had to offer, even giving us a live demonstration of the machines. She was flexible when it came to showing me different machines that fit my price range, never once making me feel pressured. After seeing a few viable options options I became unsure; it was then, suddenly, that a man man emerges from the back room saying "I've got it! I know the EXACT machine for you". It was Arman the owner the store with more energy than anyone you'd ever seen. (Mind you he was in the back room--he had not been with us which meant he'd been listening to our entire conversation. Straight out of a movie!) In all, hewas right -- I found the perfect machine. He even went so far as to show me exactly how the machine worked. His knowledge and expertise is above and beyond anything that you would expect. If it's a sewing machine you need I wouldn't recommend any other store. read more

For those of you trying to research a place to fix or buy a sewing machine? Let me save you the hassle of going to these folks. I had purchased a sewing machine from this place about 10 years ago for my girlfriend which is now my wife. She used it about 2 times and it took a dump on us. Well now with a home of our own we needed to fix it so we took it back not knowing they moved to the PCH location from Hawthorne and sepulveda. Without even taking the machine and checking what's wrong they instantly quoted my wife $90.00 up front... We left, and looked around in Torrance for someone a little more trust worthy and found a place heading south past PCH on Hawthorne there is a vacuum and sew repair place and the guy's name is Carl. He's been in the business for 40+ years and he gave me a free estimate and it ended up being that the old wheels just needed greasing up and tuned. The damage was $40.00 and a piece of mind was restored. This place AAA FABRIC is not a trustworthy place to give your money. Just my opinion. read more

I have gone to several sewing machine shops between Lomita and Huntington Beach and I have to say I love this place. It is neat, extremely well organized, staff and owner or warm, friendly and very helpful. And their classroom setting is WOW! I purchased my latest machine a Babylock Sashiko from AAA. This will be my store from this point on. Did I say I loved it!!! read more

I purchased a Pfaff sewing machine from AAA Sewing and Fabric a few months ago. Just recently the bobbin got stuck on the bobbin winder. I took it in to AAA and they removed the bobbin. I brought the machine home and took the cover off and my accessory tray and all the contents were missing. As was the Presser Feet Pressure Dial!! I immediately called the store and the woman suggested that I had removed it and it was at my home. She said the tech would have had no reason to remove it. She told me to check around the house and check the trunk of my car. Then she hung up on me. She's right, he would have had no reason to remove it! But it is gone and I DO NOT have it. Where is it? I am very perplexed! I have called several times and even took my machine in but they insist they don't have it. I don't have it! Where is it? She was more than happy to order extra parts for me at a tune of around $300.00!! Hmm. Color me puzzled. Where are the parts to my machine?? read more

The lady's here are great, I told them what I needed and they got it done with the quickness!! 10 stars for the service, conversation and the product!!!! read more

I bought a $2000 new sewing machine here and had a problem within a week. The automatic thread cutter wasn't working consistently. First time brought in the machine, the owner told me to use the thread they sell. I used a different kind (Made in German, Gutermann). Second time I brought in, they changed the blade. Third time I brought in, the owner was really upset and said " I told you to use our thread and you didn't. If you brought the machine again, I will charge you $99 bench fee!" Excuse me, I have one year service warranty. Plus, the manufacture doesn't recommend to use only certain thread. I finally decided to use their expensive thread which I honestly notice more lint than the one I used. My 10 year old Brother machine never had this problem. I tried to show the owner the thread they recommend has more lint, but she just quickly whined the thread and gave me back. I was told many times if I am working on a PROJECT or just messing up with the cutter. What a sarchasm :( I am just trying to figure out what's wrong with my machine. Using the thread they said to use, the cutter still didn't cut. I brought the machine for the FOURTH time. They finally investigated the problem and it was just a simple screwing issue inside the machine. They never apologized me for blaming me. They were so rude and unkind. I will never have business here again. I will try going to the other place which other reviewer was recommended. read more

AAA Sewing? Try AAA+ people !! I bought a sewing machine from here and attended the beginner class LET ME TELL YOU !!!!! Everyone is so patient and kind . They made me feel relaxed so that it was easy to learn, I even wanna sign up for project classes! I recommend this place definitely read more

I can't remember when I started coming to AAA, perhaps 15 years? I've purchased two vacuums, two sergers (traded one in for a nice discount), one cadillac of an embroidery machine, one utility sewing machine, and countless thread, notions, and fabric. It's a pleasure to go in the store and I'm always greeted with happy employees. The repair work from the shop is excellent: I can count on an explanation of what was repaired, quality workmanship, and a fair price. I have had repairs/tune-ups on old sewing machines and vacuums with very reasonable pricing so much so that I keep coming back. I recently took a few classes to get to know my serger and embroidery machine better and the instructors are fabulous! I'm able to use both of my new machines with greater ease and I really appreciate that AAA wants their customers to be comfortable with the machines they purchase. I feel like AAA Sewing and Fabric is a gem of a shop and I hope they are around for another 40+ years. read more

My wife has done business with AAA for over 25 years. Aman Amina and Salima are always very courteous and helpful. If you want professional service with a smile, this is the place. My wife misplaced a small but essential part for her 7570 Pfaff. Even though the machine is over 20 years old they managed to come up with one and save the day. They also have a great selection of fabrics' Thank You AAA! read more

Wonderful lady at the front desk, but the owner is absolutely one the rudest people I've ever run across. She was dismissive and front snotty when I was in the shop and then hung up on me. MY MACHINE WORKS WELL AFTER A TUNE UP AND EVERYONE ELSE IN THIS STORE IS NORMAL AND NICE. I want to take a class there but not looking forward to dealing with the owner. read more

My wife used to take her Bernina sewing machine in to AAA for servicing and repairs when they were located on Sepulveda. They were the best for servicing the Bernina, so even though we live north of LAX, we'd trek down there every year to drop it off, and again, to pick it up. Recently, my wife was getting a bit frustrated with the buttonhole attachment not working, again, and again. She started researching newer, electronic machines, and had just about decided on what she wanted. Unfortunately, or fortunately, she couldn't find a local store that stocked that model. She called AAA to ask if they carried it. The owner said that they repair that brand, but don't sell them, because they don't think that it's a good product. Decided to make the drive down there to see what they would recommend. The owner listened to what my wife was interested in, and immediately suggested a Pfaff machine. She took a lot of time to explain and demonstrate the advantages of the Pfaff, and recommended it as a solid, reliable machine. My wife bought the Pfaff, but it's been a steep learning curve. Today, we went down there for a Pfaff class. Normally, the class costs $300, but is included when you buy a machine, there. I came along as my wife's technical coach. The class was excellent. There were 4 ladies with various models of Pfaff machines, and various levels of sewing proficiency. The instruction was very helpful, and personalized to each person's needs. These modern machines are very sophisticated computers, that sew. The technical side can be bewildering to someone who has used a mechanical machine for 40 years. Still, if one perseveres, the new machines can do so much more than the old ones, in less time. Great local shop, with owners dedicated to the satisfaction of their customers. This is not the cheapest way to buy a sewing machine, but you won't get the expert advice and support from an online or warehouse store. read more

I saw this store appear on PCH and thought, really? Fabric... it's been years since we had a fabric source that met criteria... My only problem with AAA, they are closed on Sunday and Monday, my days off... I finally had a chance to go in the store yesterday. There is parking, accessible from Reed. I have been looking for cotton prints. They have a nice selection of really good quality cotton prints, at better than usual prices. A beautiful selection of Batik prints, beautiful fabrics with quality fabric feel (not the more-like-gauze with that old India-bedspread-from-the-60s-feel you will find in that other store). Instead of picking through a sorry selection of bolts that turn out to be short of my needed yardage, I had to choose from several pieces I really liked, I picked three but have ideas for others I will return for. The staff was great, friendly and professional. They have a nice assortment of sewing accessories, some high end items I've never seen in that other store, an excellent selection of thread, an impressive selection of sewing machines and specialty machines. There is a very large room for classes. You can tell they really know their products. I really want a better sewing machine, I can tell, I'm going to be spending some time there.... read more

Decent selection of quality fabrics and supplies and the owner is energetic and friendly. Unfortunately the rest of the staff is not friendly or helpful and will talk down to you if you ask questions. Even though our selection of fabric stores in this area is minimal I will avoid going here based on my recent experience. read more

They were so helpful. The guy knew what kind of sewing machine I had right down to the model number based off from the pr next I brought in that I was working on and the year sewing machine. They also spend a fair amount of time showing me what all the feet were for, and trying to make an adaption kit for an invisible zipper attachment. Incredibly helpful. Will definite go there again for parts and maybe even a new machine one day. read more

My wife is a loyal customer of AAA for 30 years and would never think of going anywhere else. It's more than a purchase of merchandise; it's a community of people enjoying their hobby. Best in class products coupled with classroom instruction so you get the most enjoyment out of your purchase. Various club events build camaraderie and many friendships. Whether you are a veteran sewer or want to start a new hobby this is your place. read more

This is a great business. My mother has been going to them since I was a kid (I'm 37 now). I've recently taken a few different apparel classes with them and their instructors are top notch. I've also purchased a sewing machine from them and I got a free instructional class on how to use it! I've had a machine repaired, and their prices are fair and their work is fantastic. I'm in the market for a new serger, and I will definitely be going to them for their expertise. They are family owned/operated, and they really care about their customers. I've had nothing but great experiences from AAA. read more

AAA Sewing and Fabric is a family-operated business with excellent customer service and very knowledgeable on all their sewing machines and vacuums. They also have very good Educators. And the bonus is they also have an extra large educational room where they hold classes regularly on site They're always current with their classes. You can get on their email list and find out about all the upcoming classes They sell top of the line sewing machines and vacuums. When I walked into the store I didn't know the first thing about but sewing. Salima & her family and other staff members including outside educators made sure that I became familiar with my sewing machine and I was always welcomed back to get answers on any questions regarding anything I've ever purchased from them . They've always gone the extra mile if I let them know in advance they would take time to sit down one on one with me and patiently explain how to operate my machine or I could take affordable classes. Thank You AAA Sewing you definitely have improved my life and they know what I mean. read more

Everytime I go in there, the owners and staff are lovely! Very knowledgeable, they have classes too! Super clean, beautiful machines, family owned! Love them read more
