*Do you have a Featherweight Sewing Machine that needs attention?

*Do you have a Featherweight that you want serviced?

*Do you want to be empowered and learn to do it yourself?

*Has your machine been sitting for a while?

*Want to starting sewing with your wonderful vintage sewing machine?

TAKE A CLASS FROM ANGEL HERRING!

In this class you will learn to service your machine yourself so it will continue to sew for many years. You will develop the skill set to clean, oil, and grease the proper locations to keep your machine running in tip top shape. When you leave the class, you will feel empowered!

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. We will practice your new skill set so you are comfortable enough to start piecing a quilt top or your next sewing project. THEN, you are ready to take the PART 2 class. In this class, you will identify, label, and use the six basic attachments as well as other ones that were "upsales" back in the day.

SHOP OWNERS, GUILDS, CLUBS and GROUPS: If you are a shop owner, guild co-ordinator, or have a sewing group and would like for me to present a class/workshop or online lesson please email me at featherweightblissbyangel@gmail.com for details. If the commute is too far to a shop for someone, I offer private lessons or small group workshops for in person and on line learning.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT THE CLASS

I thought the class was VERY helpful and will save me money (and frustration) in the future by keeping up with regular maintenance.

This is a great class to learn the ins and outs of your Featherweight machine. I learned more in this class than any other I have taken in many years! Thank you Angel!

Great instructor who knows her stuff! Very knowledgeable! Sweet too!

Thanks to Angel, I feel empowered to maintain my own machine now!

Angel is a very patient teacher. She answered all my questions and now I can take care of my machine at home.

Angel is talented, kind, and knows all about these machines. I am so glad I took this class. Everyone should take this class from her!
