AAA Sewing and Fabric

This is a wonderful place! I have been going to them for a decade for machine service. A few years ago, I decided to replace an older sewing machine and serger and bought both new machines through AAA. The owners spent a great deal of time with me to find out what machine suited my needs and steered me away from more expensive models that wouldn’t have been necessary for the projects I typically do. Recently, I had a problem with my sewing machine, and rather than perform an expensive and probably unnecessary repair, their master technician showed me very clearly why my machine was malfunctioning and how I could prevent it at home. Family owned business, nice people, skillful service. What’s not to love? Oh, and they have the most beautiful fabrics and project patterns and lots of class offerings.

If I could give six stars, I would. This family run business, and staff are all about customer service. They greet customers with a sincere welcome, and make you feel soooo welcome, even if your purchase is a small one. I see them in action with other customers as well, and the staff is always patient and knowledgeable. Fabric selection is good to great, and I highly recommend their classes as well. Pick up a copy of the latest class schedule. The service you receive is far better than the big box crafty stores, Give them a shot and support the local business!

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.

I found AAA when my sewing machine needed repair back when they were on Sepulveda. They were very helpful and friendly and added me to their mailing list. Since I wasn’t sewing much, I didn’t really get back until they moved to the location on PCH. I came to see the new store and meet all the staff and found an awesome friendly place and have been coming back ever since. I have purchased a few machines since then and while AAA prices are the best around, that is not why I keep coming back, it is because of the wonderful people and the best service ever that keeps me coming back. Aman takes great care of my machines, Amina and Salima as well as all of the staff are very helpful with all my questions and offering advice. They have a beautiful selection of fabric as well as all the tools you need. There are lots of great classes and events to continue learning. Love this place!

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!!!

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.

I recently took my sewing machine in for repair, it took a few months to get fixed, but no fault of AAA, it was the manufacture’s issues. AAA worked diligently with support until I finally got machine back and it works wonderfully. I will definitely bring it back to AAA.

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.

I’ve been a customer for over 3 years and I LOVE this family owned business. Knowledgable staff, excellent service, great classes, and loads of fun! If you are looking for quality machines and fantastic support, this is the place to go! A beautiful selection of fabrics, accessories, embroidery software and so much 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.

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…

I went here recently to buy a vacuum cleaner. While they specialize in sewing machines, fabrics and other sewing paraphernalia, and sewing classes, they also sell vacuum cleaners. I went because I saw online that they sell Miele vacuum cleaners, the brand I thought I wanted. This is a family-​owned business, and the lady of the domain had me speak with her husband, the expert in vacuum cleaners. Boy, did I get an education! He explained why Sebo is a better brand (he carries Miele because some customers like it), in great detail. He must have given me twenty minutes of his time. While he was demonstrating the machines, a man overheard us and told me he has to bring in his Miele vacuum cleaner once a year for repairs and is very aggravated by it. So, I got an on-​the-​spot confirmation of what the owner was telling me. Anyway, I ended up buying a Sebo, spending more than I had anticipated, but I am extremely happy with my purchase and definitely see the benefits the owner pointed out to me. I really appreciated the great customer service (he even threw in an attachment for free.) This is the reason to patronize small businesses — you frequently get knowledgeable, informative and caring customer service, not like in a big box store or even online stores. I’m so glad I bought my vacuum cleaner here. Too bad I don’t like sewing — it looks like a pleasant place to take classes.
