Featherweight Maintenance Workshop, Advanced Course
Advanced Course on site at the Featherweight Shop:
The Advanced Course is designed for those who have a desire to delve into all aspects of Singer Featherweight maintenance and servicing. This course will go beyond routine maintenance and onto advanced levels of motors, tension and timing. The course targets those who have an avid Featherweight hobby and/or those who have a large collection of Featherweights in need of maintenance and troubleshooting. You will be learning how to service a problem Featherweight or one that is not quite in perfect sewing order. This contrasts the Novice Maintenance course where we just cover routine maintenance and service. With only 6 spots available, a small group setting assures each attendee that he or she will receive plenty of personalized, one-on-one time with Carmon or Christian.
The class will be held on-site at the Featherweight Shop where we will have access to all the tools, supplies, and equipment that we use every day for Featherweight service, maintenance, and troubleshooting.
The Advanced Course will be held over two days. The first day we will begin at 2:00 pm with a Featherweight Shop "Meet & Greet". Get to know the staff as well as refresh & review with the other class members any basic maintenance information. This will be an informal setting for Q & A and a preparation time before moving on to more advanced teaching the following day. (Refreshments and dinner will be provided the first day.)
The next morning at 9:00 am we will dive right into our technical, advanced, and troubleshooting training. We will take a closer look at the timing, motor, and foot controller of the Featherweight. Things like peculiar noises, stiff machines, and slow motors will also be addressed. The entire course will end at 5:00 P.M. the second day.
(Lunch and refreshments will be provided the second day.)
