About Southwest Sewing Machines
Welcome to Southwest Sewing Machines — Houston’s Premier Dealer for Commercial and Industrial Sewing Equipment.
With over 70 years of combined experience, we are proud to be one of the most trusted names in industrial sewing machinery across Texas and beyond.
Our Story
Southwest Sewing Machines began with Gerald Valentine, who started repairing sewing machines in Houston back in 1977. Gerald first learned the trade from his brother Bill Valentine on the East Coast, where he honed his skills working with a wide range of industrial machines. After four years, Gerald returned to Houston to launch what would become a legacy of excellence in sewing machine sales, service, and support.
