When bringing in a Baby Lock or Brother sewing or embroidery machine for service, power cords and presser feet are not required, the needle does not need to be removed because it will be replaced during cleaning and service, and everything should be removed from the machine except the bobbin case. Customers are asked to call to make an appointment with technicians, and not all machines can be repaired the same day, so calling for availability and to make an appointment is required.
