A stitch in time: saving sewing machines in Motueka

From Nine To Noon, 9:30 am on 6 April 2023

Industrial sewing machine mechanic Gary Hucker has been repairing machines for over 30 years.

He runs a busy sewing machine repair business, In Stitches, serving the Tasman and Nelson area.

He has so much demand from domestic and industrial customers, that he was able to go full time with his business during the pandemic.

Gary Hucker works on machines up to 100 years old, and says older machines are often easier to repair than newer models.

He's also got a series of popular video tutorials where he shows viewers how to solve common problems.
