Columbus, Ohio Workshops, June 2016

Our Columbus, Ohio workshops were a blast, and both groups were a pleasure to work with and teach all about their Singer Featherweights and maintenance / servicing skills.

Here are a few photos from both days:

Workshop members learned about the oxidation from the lead tube and why it can be important to keep it clear from underneath machine.

Before and after -- cleaning all that lint from under the needle plate... This machine had quite a few yards of thread pass through it's needle!

Tasia and Julian came together and each brought a machine to work on.  It's always fun to meet a fellow husband and wife team!

Ruthie putting the final touches on a Featherweight Case of her choosing from the Workshop.

Our Featherweight Workshops really are a family affair.  Sometimes our young Ruthie will be of assistance, too, when she's not working on polishing a Featherweight Case.  Here she is showing Meg how the Bobbin Tension Meter works to set the standard bobbin tension at 20-25 grams.

Meg was an excellent pupil!  😉

Thank you, everyone, for joining us in Columbus!  It was such a warm welcome and we enjoyed meeting each of you.  Thank you for the many sweet and yummy treats for our drive to the next stop.... New York!
