Sewing Supplies and Accessories in NZ

Great sewing deserves the best accessories. At Sewingtime, we are proud to have one of the most extensive ranges of sewing accessories in NZ. We've got you covered, whether you own an industrial sewing machine, a household machine, an embroidery machine or any other type of sewing-related equipment.

We stock the sewing supplies NZ sewers rely on, covering everyday sewing needs down to complicated projects. Check out our range and feel free to get in touch, and we’ll help you select just the right thing. And if you’re in Auckland or Christchurch, call into our Sewingtime showrooms and take a look at everything we have to offer. You’ll be assisted by a team that's been in the industry for over 40 years, since 1986.

Why the Right Sewing Supplies Make A Difference

Most sewing frustrations stem from using the wrong tool for the job. A universal needle through stretch fabric causes skipped stitches; swap it for the correct machine needle, and the problem disappears. Scissors past their best, drag instead of cut. A machine that hasn't been oiled wears faster than it should. 

Keeping the right sewing essentials stocked means most of these problems never show up mid-project. This means more time to focus on what you do best.

We carry Schmetz needles across all gauges and applications because needle choice is one of the most overlooked variables in getting a clean result. And if your machine needs attention beyond a new needle, the parts and attachments range has presser feet, bobbins, belts, and machine-specific components ready to order.

Not sure what you need? Call us on 0800 541 691 or visit our Auckland or Christchurch showroom, and we'll point you in the right direction.

Stocked for Home Sewers and Commercial Operators

The range covers both. Home dressmakers, quilters, embroiderers, and production rooms all shop here. We stock everything from everyday thread for domestic machines through to industrial-grade options built for high-volume use. 

We've spent years working out which products actually perform and which ones don't, and what's on this page reflects that. If you need it for your machine or your project, it's here.
