Have you purchased or been gifted with a 221 Featherweight? Is it sitting on a shelf because you are afraid to use it? Or do you use it but are not familiar with how to take care of it? Then this class is for you!

Come learn how to do simple basic maintenance on your 221. This class is taught in a casual and easy way so that you can learn to “Simply Love” your Featherweight! You will become confident in your ability to maintain your machine and not be afraid to use her. The material is offered in language that the everyday quilter/sewer can understand. Tasks covered will include how to clean the gears, lubricate and oil your machine, treat the finish, and most important, learn to correct common mistakes to make your sewing experience trouble free. We will test and correct any tension issues. Some history and facts will also be covered. Once you take this class you will not put your precious machine in a closet again but will use and take care of her confidently!
