A couple of years old, but nothing much has changed; here is the best one-stop guide to sewing supplies here that I've found: http://katharineyeung.wordpress.com/...-in-hong-kong/
Of course, for something like a sewing machine, you probably want a valid guarantee, so check the manufacturers' websites in order to find the authorised distributors here.
Singer sewing machine? They have addresses on their website
For quitltung supplies, lots of bits & pieces in sham shui po, kinda semi wholesale. They may not speak good English tho
There is a Singer shop with accessories on Queens Rd West, Sheung Wan, next to the Queens Rd W and Hollywood Rds junction. For quilting accessories, there is a sewing shop with accessories of all kinds in Midland Plaza, Queens Rd, Sheung Wan on the ground floor. I have bought bits an bobs from there and lady who speaks some English is very helpful and friendly.
For patches, you can buy those at the Hawkers Bazaar opp. the Sham Shui Po police station on Nam Cheong Rd, SSP. There is a large sewing machine shop, I have seen somewhere in SSP but they look like cheaper models. Also, Fortress sell basic sewing machines. It really depends on your needs.
You could always buy online. google Simplicity.Com sewing needs for a broad range of quilting and sewing accessories.
