“I Just Tightened This Screw and Now It’s Worse”

We’ve all been there! That tiny screw on your bobbin case controls tension — and it’s also incredibly easy to over-adjust. A quarter turn can make a big difference (for better or worse).

If your bobbin tension has gone wild, don’t keep fighting it — bring it to Repair by Bear and we’ll get it dialed back in correctly.

Tip of the Week from Top Bear!

Hot, humid Georgia summers can be tough on your sewing machine — especially if it’s been sitting in a basement, garage, or attic. Heat and humidity can dry out lubricant and cause tension issues faster than you’d think!

If your stitches have been looking a little off lately, it might just be feeling the heat (we don’t blame it). Drop it off at any of our 4 North Atlanta locations and let the Bear cool things down for you!

Cool Place to have fun in the sommer!

Summer is here, and you know what that means….COOL KIDS SEW SUMMER CAMP is back!! We’ve got 8 weeks of themed camps JAM PACKED with projects sure to spark the creativity in your kiddo!

And our camps are no exception...no matter what your kids crafty background has been, they’ll leave each day with a finished project they created with their own hands, and a little boost to that childlike self-confidence!
