Montavilla Sewing Centers

Montavilla Sewing Centers sells new and used sewing machines, sergers, embroidery and quilting machines, and sewing furniture, and it has been a family business in Portland since 1949. The store carries brands it considers top quality and offers a broad range of classes, clubs and events for sewers at all skill levels.

Factory-trained service technicians repair machines, and they will diagnose a problem free of charge and recommend next steps. Machines can be brought in to any of the company's locations in Portland, Beaverton, Lake Oswego, Gresham and Milwaukie. The shops also host Quilts of Valor chapter meetings and a monthly quilting group for Cares Northwest.
