Duration: 4 hours
Class Size: 6

Learn to maintain your sewing machine by cleaning and oiling and troubleshooting minor problems. If you are looking to learn how to use your machine, check out our Intro to Machine Sewing class.

Class will be hands-on, attendees should bring:

  • A working sewing machine

  • Everything needed to run it (power cord, bobbin, etc).

This will be of most value to owners of mechanical machines, but computerized machines are welcome. No Sergers at this time. By the end of this workshop you should feel comfortable with:

  • how your sewing machine works

  • how to choose thread and needles for your task

  • how to perform routine cleaning and oiling of your machine

  • how to adjust your machine for best performance 

  • troubleshooting minor problems 

This class is offered by Barbara Keys of Sewing Crazy, a traveling sewing machine repair and maintenance business!
