*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?
TAKE A CLASS FROM ANGEL HERRING!
In this class you will learn to service your 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. 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.
SHOP OWNERS, GUILDS, 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.
