Committed to the Preservation, Restoration and Sales of  

German Pfaff Sewing machines

Owners Glenn (aka Uncle Creepy) and Amy Smith welcome you to our Online Store and Retro-Pfaff Service Center in Northeastern Pennsylvania.  Glenn’s technical knowledge of sewing machines coupled with Amy’s application and creative skills of sewing products results in a level of professionalism rarely found today in traditional retail shops.

Formerly in New Holland PA,  Brubaker’s now operates an online business and ship-in service center for German Retro-Pfaff sewing machines from Northeast Pennsylvania.

Have you been told that parts are not available to repair your Pfaff?  GOOD NEWS!  We have these  parts in stock.  

For 20 years we invested in extra parts, electronic components and circuit boards in anticipation of continuing Pfaff service and sales as a retirement business.   In 2018, now stocked with enough repair parts to serve our customers, we closed our retail establishment and set up an online and ship-in business. We repair only the Pfaff models of which we have ample parts inventory so that we can warranty our work to the end users. We can repair machines produced from 1975-1999. This includes the 1222 (1200 series) 1471 (1400 series) and 7550 (7000 series). If you want to learn more, give us a call!       570-676-0074.

Testimonial:  

“I purchased a sewing machine foot part for my vintage Pfaff Sewing Machine.  I bought it by calling and talking to a real person, then paying over the phone and they shipped it to my home in KY….The part was EXACTLY what I needed at a fair price.

Testimonial:

“My 32 year old Pfaff Creative 1471 (first generation computerized from 1985) stopped working in July. The main motherboard failed, along with some other parts that needed to be replaced due to usual wear from many years of use. I did some searching on YouTube and came across Glenn Smith at Brubaker’s… My machine was repaired very quickly, they kept me informed throughout the process and the price for his work was very fair. They packed it beautifully for the return shipping. I highly recommend Glenn and Amy. They are the best!”

Build a You Go

Build As You Go Machine Quilting started as most ideas do…in an effort to solve a problem.  In my case, I was testing a new sewing machine.   As it is not my style to waste my time with scrap fabric, I had a stack of quilt blocks to embellish.  When I was finished “playing”,  I had gorgeous, embellished and quilted blocks that  I did not want to join with bulky seams.  Using a fusible batting tape (Heat Press Batting Together) and a little ingenuity, my “Build As You Go” method was born.  I am now finding that this is an exceptionally simple method for everyone, especially those of us who approach piecing a little differently than traditional quilters.  

My quilts are nothing more than an idea with a lot of stitches, color and texture added to the concept.  I am a sewing machine person first, and a quilter second.  My method has allowed me to become more creative and produce better and faster results.

Once you understand the method, there are really no hard and fast rules.  Build As You Go means ANYTHING GOES!
