How Can You Learn Sewing Machine Repair?

By David Trumble

Think back thirty or forty years. Things were a lot simpler and easier. Sewing machines were no exception. They were simpler, easier to maintain, and simpler to use.

Sewers expected to care for their own sewing machine. Many users would go year after year without ever thinking about taking their sewing machine to a sewing machine repair center. They would clean, oil, and adjust their sewing machines themselves.

As time passed, sewing machines changed. Technological advances transformed the age old mechanical sewing machine. Sewing machines have become sleek, powerful, elegant, and full of convenient features. You might fear that sewing machines have become overly complicated. You may even think you could break it.

A sewing revolution has transformed the sewing machine and how we sew. Electronics and computer chips turn the simple sewing machine into a creative appliance. Is it possible to care for such complicated sewing machines today?

Periodically, I listen to customers whose old sewing machine has worn out, rusted, and is not worth fixing. I hear their fear and doubts over learning a new sewing machine.

I never argue with them, but sometimes, I will offer the customer a new loaner machine while her machine is being repaired. It is amazing how many new machines get sold that way.

The increase in sewing machine complexity has caused many users to shy away from doing their own sewing machine maintenance. There is often a fear of breaking the sewing machine. As a result the sewing machine repair technician has become a critical resource for every sewing machine user.

Unfortunately, before calling for help from a professional technician, many people will seek the aid of an inexperienced friend, neighbor, or husband. Often this is a recipe for disaster. Yes, there are some easy fixes, but turn the wrong screw, get the tensions, timing, balance, or feed out just a little, and the machine stops working at all.

You can learn to repair your own sewing machine. Find the specialized knowledge and develop the vital skills you need to do your own sewing machine repair. A sewing machine repair course will reveal the secrets of sewing machine repair. You can tap many helpful resources to get help when you need it. Sewing machine repair makes a great hobby and a super home business.

When my wife got upset because her sewing machine wouldnt work, I set out to learn how to repair sewing machines. It was a difficult uncharted road, but I soon discovered that just a little help made a big difference. Soon I learned how to clean, adjust, and service her sewing machine. Then within a months, I had my own successful sewing machine repair business operating out of my garage. If I could do it, anybody can do it. It is not an impossible task.

What if you could do your own sewing machine repair? What if you could save just $150 per year over the next twenty years? What if you could earn $300 next weekend doing sewing machine repair for your friends?

To begin doing sewing machine repair yourself, all you need is a good sewing machine repair course, some basic tools, and a little practice.
