Tony Skelton has been repairing sewing machines for over 40 years. That is a whole lot of machines! He has worked at BERNINA as well as multi-line dealerships in Alaska and Washington and has seen more bobbins than our open sewing classroom loses in a year.

Tony, or Tony the Tiger as he is warmly known around MD, also loves to fish and hunt, has a kind smile and easy going way. His knack for remembering long part numbers of obscure bits and pieces never fails to impress us. If you listen closely while you are sewing in the downstairs classroom, you will likely hear him cracking jokes with Michelle, calling BERNINA for parts, or sometimes you can hear him quietly laughing at this silly gang of young ladies he works with.
