Singer Featherweight Maintenance - Signup Here
Instructor: Diana Wolf November 5th, 2021, 9:00am - 3:00pm Location: Trophy Gardens craft room - assuming restrictions have been lifted In this class you will learn how to maintain your Singer Featherweight and keep it running smoothly. While you may enjoy the “clickety clack” while you are sewing, this is often a sign that you are adding unnecessary wear and tear to your machine. Giving your machine a thorough cleaning will extend its life and reward you with improved stitch quality. Even if you haven’t used your machine in over a year, you still need to clean and oiled at least every 12 months. Oil that sits in your machine changes consistency and becomes less effective in protecting the parts. These machines are actually simple to maintain. If you can find and remove dust in your home…you can maintain your Singer Featherweight. This class will teach you where to look…and how to clean, oil and grease your machine. Supplies List |
