Answers to the most common questions are listed below.

Question: Is this class a factory dealer training course that only covers their latest models?
Answer: NO. Factory dealer type training is very good, if you have a store selling that brand of sewing machine.
Factory type training is performed on a new machine that does not have the common issues that machines experience after a few years of use.
It does not explain procedures in a way that may be applied to all makes and models.
Many people attending a factory type training course find they have not learned how to time the hook or how to tackle varnish problems on other
makes of machines when they start repairs in the real world a few weeks after attending an expensive factory dealer course.

Question: I wish to learn electronic circuit board repair on my computer machine. Is this covered in the class?
Answer: Mechanical service on computer models is covered in my class. Other dealer type training courses train you how to use their test equipment (only available to authorized dealers) and how to change circuit boards, but will not train you how to repair circuit boards since the manufactures will not sell the repair components to anyone.

Question: Does the course offered by White Sewing Center explain procedures so they will apply to all sewing machines?
Answer: YES. Each procedure is explained in a way that may be applied to all sewing machines.

Question: I have saved ten "basket case" machines for the class that I tried to repair and now have everything out of adjustment. Will you repair these machines for me at the class?
Answer: No. This is not a repair shop where I perform repairs for you. Time does not permit servicing several machines that require major repairs in the class.

Question: What will I learn in the 5 day repair class?
Answer: The basic training is the most important requirement to become a competent mechanic. You will learn the various systems of sewing machines, how each system works and how to adjust it for proper operation. The basic training is the foundation for all service procedures and the basics must be understood before advancing to "hands on" service procedures. The "hands on" section of training covers almost any procedure you wish to explore. Please be aware that if you choose to service only " basket case" machines, you may only complete one machine in the alloted five days. If you choose to service machines with common problems, you may complete several in five days. You will learn much more by following quality service procedures on fewer machines than trying to patch up several machines in the course.
