NOTE: This
is not a home-study, book or video. It is also not an expensive apprentice type of instruction, requiring months
of living expenses away from home.
The basic class is an intensive three day "hands-on" basic training course where
you will actually diagnose and service one or more malfunctioning sewing machines in the class
after receiving the training. Students attending the 3 day advanced class explore more complicated procedures and repair an average of 5 or more machines
each during the 3 day advanced class. Feel free to bring bring several machines to the classes.
Many people save much more than the cost of the class in repairs they would
have dropped off at the local service center. As the economy slows, more people choose to have their older reliable machines repaired rather than buy new, so the demand for quality repair service business increases. About 50% of our former students have opened a full time or part time business for extra income. This is a class where I
have combined the information from attending over a dozen manufacturer training courses
and over 45 years of experience.
All the "secrets" of the trade
are revealed.

We reserve the right to increase class fees at any time.
Please register early, as classes fill quickly.
Late registration results in some classes being cancelled or filled to over capacity which may create overcrowding. It is not fair to those who did register early. We also may decline your registration because the class is already full.
Therefore, we have implemented a graduated fee schedule. The class fee you pay will be determined by the date your registration is postmarked. The sooner you mail your registration, the lower your cost.
Please check our refund policy. Refund policy
Registrations will be accepted in order of the postmarked date.
Mail your registration early and you will be in the class.
Wait, and your registration may be returned because the class is full.
Registration is no longer required if you like to gamble. You may show
up un-announced and pay the higher "at the door" fee IF seating is available.
Don't wait until it's too late.

When available seating for a class is filled, enrollment for that class will be closed.
Remember, many of these classes fill quickly, sometimes within a few days,
and openings are limited. Reservations are confirmed
in the order registrations are received by postal mail. If you have mailed your registration by postal mail,
you may also contact me by e-mail or phone and I will hold a place for you
in the class. In fairness to others who want to attend a class, please don't
ask me to hold your reservation unless you plan to mail your registration within 24 hours.
NOTE:
CONFIRMED means the class has been scheduled.
We reserve the right to cancel a class if a low number of registrations may result in a loss to our business.
In the unlikely event of a cancellation, Registered students will be notified by e-mail 30 days in advance of the class start date.
