Featherweight Maintenance Class
CLASS DESCRIPTION
Featherweight Maintenance
Do you own a Featherweight Sewing Machine? Do you want to sew with your precious Featherweight? Haven’t used it in years? Want to learn to maintain it yourself? This is the class for you. Featherweight Spa Day!
In this class you will learn how to service your Featherweight sewing machine yourself. You will develop the skill set to clean, oil, and grease the proper locations to keep your machine running in tip top shape. You will also learn some tricks to sewing with your machine and gain confidence in using it on a regular basis, if you so desire.
