5 Best Sewing Machine Stores in Toronto (2026)

Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

Talise Sterling
By Talise Sterling, Goods and Shopping · ✓ Data verified July 2026 · 8 min read

Search for a sewing machine store in Toronto and the top five results are tailors, fabric shops and a dry-cleaning chain, not a single Brother or Janome dealer among them. Magic Tailor leads on review count at 699, and Leather & Sewing Supply Depot follows at 392, both rated 4.7. Neither sells machines, so this page names what each business actually does rather than forcing a fit that isn't there.

Short answer: None of Toronto's top five 'sewing machine store' results actually sell or repair sewing machines. Magic Tailor (4.7, 699 reviews) is a downtown alterations shop, and Leather & Sewing Supply Depot (4.7, 392 reviews) is the closest genuine fit, a fabric and craft-supply retailer that sells materials, not machines. The rest are fabric, yarn and dry-cleaning businesses.

Magic Tailor

4.7699 Google reviews

Magic Tailor is a downtown Toronto alterations and tailoring shop on Church Street, not a sewing machine retailer. Its own site describes it as a trusted name for suit alterations, covering shortening, taking in and letting out for weddings, proms and everyday wardrobe fixes. It uses sewing machines in-house to alter clothes customers bring in; it doesn't sell or repair them.

What people praise

  • Staff (Gihan, Mehmet) named repeatedly for honest, frank advice on fit
  • One reviewer describes a badly sewn dress transformed and fixed within a day
  • Fast turnaround, often 48 to 72 hours for standard alterations
  • Largest review base on this page at 699

Worth knowing

  • Doesn't sell, rent or repair sewing machines; it's a garment alteration service

Our take: The highest review count and a strong rating, but worth being clear about: this is where you take clothes to be altered, not where you'd buy or fix a machine.

Leather & Sewing Supply Depot

4.7392 Google reviews

Leather & Sewing Supply Depot on Spadina Avenue is the closest thing to a genuine sewing store on this list, though it sells materials rather than machines: leather, fabric, lining, buckles, threads, zippers and specialized hand tools for both sewing and leathercraft. It serves hobbyists, tailors and the fashion and film industries, with both a physical shop and an online store.

What people praise

  • Wide, specific selection reviewers describe as covering nearly every material need
  • Staff member Koko named repeatedly for helpful, friendly service and fair pricing
  • Handles small on-the-spot repairs, like fixing a jacket zipper
  • One customer has shopped there for over 20 years

Worth knowing

  • Sells sewing supplies and materials, not sewing machines themselves

Our take: If your search is really for fabric, leather or notions rather than a machine, this is genuinely the right stop on this list. It just isn't a machine dealer.

#3🕑 Open 7 days

Affordable Textiles

4.5317 Google reviews

Affordable Textiles on Queen Street West bills itself as Toronto's largest fabric store, selling linen, silk, rayon, quilting cottons, denim and corduroy by the yard, along with fabric dye. It's a materials retailer for sewing and quilting projects, not a sewing machine dealer.

What people praise

  • Wide variety of textiles, reviewers say you can find nearly any fabric type there
  • Knowledgeable staff give project recommendations to unsure shoppers
  • Free shipping on larger online orders

Worth knowing

  • Fabric isn't priced on the shelf and has to be asked about, which a couple of reviewers found inconvenient
  • Doesn't sell sewing machines

EweKnit & Craft

4.3394 Google reviews

EweKnit & Craft on Bloor Street West sells yarn, fabric, embroidery floss, felting wool and sewing notions, positioned as a craft and fibre-arts shop rather than a machine retailer. Its own site lists knitting, crochet, quilting, weaving and sewing supplies side by side, and it also runs in-store classes.

What people praise

  • Reviewers repeatedly describe the store as beautifully organized with a strong selection
  • Staff help beginners work through a shopping list when asked
  • Runs classes and stocks kits for multiple craft types beyond sewing alone

Worth knowing

  • A few reviewers describe inconsistent staff friendliness, including feeling unwelcome on a given visit, alongside others who found staff warm and helpful
  • Doesn't sell sewing machines; it's a yarn, fabric and notions shop

Our take: The lowest rating on this list, driven mainly by uneven in-store service rather than product complaints. It's a craft supply shop first, and not where you'd go for a machine regardless.

Stitch It Clothing Alterations & Dry Cleaning

4.5232 Google reviews

Stitch It is a Canadian alterations and dry-cleaning chain with more than 50 locations, including one at Wellington Street West in Toronto's Financial District. It's been operating since 1989 and publishes fixed pricing for common jobs like hems and button repairs, backed by a 30-day fit guarantee. Like Magic Tailor, it uses sewing machines in-house to alter clothes; it doesn't sell or service them.

What people praise

  • Publishes clear, upfront pricing for common alterations
  • 30-day fit guarantee, and reviewers confirm the company redoes work that isn't right
  • Fast same-day fixes for simple jobs like a broken zipper
  • Over 50 Canadian locations, useful for repeat corporate or travel needs

Worth knowing

  • A few detailed reviews describe alterations needing three visits to get right on one order
  • Doesn't sell or repair sewing machines; it's an alteration and dry-cleaning service

Our take: Solid for straightforward, predictably priced alterations backed by a real guarantee, though a couple of reviews describe repeat trips needed to fix multi-step work. It ranks fifth on rating, not on being any less relevant to an actual sewing-machine search than the rest of this list.

Watch: 5 Best Sewing Machine Stores in Toronto (2026)

How we scored these five

Rating is the live Google average. Review volume shows how many customers actually left one, weighted so a strong score on a small sample doesn’t outrank a strong score on hundreds of reviews. Confidence reflects how much of the rating is backed by real review volume, and recency checks how recently people are still reviewing. No business can pay to change any of these numbers; the only thing money buys on this page is the Featured badge, and none of the five above paid for one.

What does sewing gear and alterations cost in Toronto? (2026)

None of the five actually sell sewing machines, so there’s no machine price to compare here. The one real, published pricing we found is Stitch It’s alteration rate card, useful as a reference point for what alteration work runs, not a machine purchase.

JobTypical price
Pant hem (Stitch It, published rate)From $14.89
Button or zipper repair (Stitch It, published rate)From $3.12
Repair or patch (Stitch It, published rate)From $8.23
Take in or let out (Stitch It, published rate)From $23.84

Prices as published on Stitch It’s own site, July 2026. These are alteration rates, not sewing machine prices; none of the five businesses on this page sell or service machines.

Fabric, alterations and craft shopping across Toronto

These five spread from the Financial District and Church Street through Spadina, Queen West and Bloor West, all within a short hop of downtown. If you’re specifically after a sewing machine dealer or repair shop rather than fabric, notions or alterations, none of the five above fit that need, and a dedicated appliance or sewing machine repair search will serve you better.

What to ask before you shop

  • Are you looking to buy or service a machine, or for fabric, notions or alterations, since these five cover the second group, not the first?
  • If it’s alterations, is pricing quoted upfront per item, or only after they see the garment?
  • Does the shop offer a guarantee or redo policy if the work isn’t right the first time?
  • For fabric shopping, can staff help estimate how much material a specific project needs?
  • How fast is turnaround for a simple job versus a multi-step alteration?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data: live ratings, review counts and how recently customers left feedback. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which gets a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position. None of the five businesses above paid for a spot on this list.

How did you choose these five?

We pulled the Toronto businesses that actually surface for this search on Google, then ranked them on rating, review count and how recently customers were still reviewing them.

Wait, none of these sell sewing machines?

Correct. Every business ranking for ‘sewing machine store’ in Toronto right now is a tailor, fabric or craft shop, or an alterations chain, not a machine dealer or repair service. We’re covering them honestly as what they are rather than forcing a fit.

How often is this page updated?

We verified this data in July 2026 using live Google listings, and we recheck periodically as ratings and review counts shift.

The bottom line

For sewing materials rather than a machine itself, Leather & Sewing Supply Depot is the closest genuine fit on this list, with two decades of repeat customers behind it. If you actually need to buy or repair a sewing machine, none of these five do that work, so a dedicated machine dealer is worth a separate search.
