E-Z Sewing Machine & Supplies corp

Midtown’s garment district still runs on needles and thread. E-Z Sewing Machine & Supplies corp keeps the stitching trade alive at 247 W 38th St BSM, New York, NY 10018, a block where bolts of fabric and spools of thread share sidewalk space with lunch-delivery bikes.

They sell, service, and rent everything from industrial overlockers to portable zigzag machines; parts, presser feet, and bobbins fill the shelves alongside scissors, measuring tapes, and pattern paper. A quick call to (917) 651-9538 can confirm whether a vintage Singer part is in stock or if the same-day pickup window is still open.

Tailors, costume shops, and home sewers all filter through the narrow storefront; directions are easiest pulled from the map here: https://www.google.com/maps/place?ftid=0x89c2598d561a69f5:0xe08d53b3653f49f2.
