Sewing machine technician training classes
Click here or scroll down for the 2010 class schedule
NOTE: This
is not a home-study, book or video. It is also not an expensive apprentice type of instruction, requiring months
of living expenses away from home.
The basic class is an intensive three day "hands-on" basic training course where
you will actually diagnose and service malfunctioning sewing machines in the class
after receiving the training. Our students repair an average of 5 machines
each during the 3 day beginner class. Students attending the 3 day advanced class explore more complicated procedures and repair several more machines. Feel free to bring bring several machines to the classes.
Many people save much more than the cost of the class in repairs they would
have dropped off at the local service center. As the economy slows, more people choose to have their older reliable machines repaired rather than buy new, so the demand for quality repair service business increases. About 50% of our former students have opened a full time or part time business for extra income. This is a class where I
have combined the information from attending over a dozen manufacturer training courses
and over 40 years of experience.
All the "secrets" of the trade
are revealed.

Please register early, as classes fill quickly.
Last minute registrations cost us time and money. Late registration results in some classes being cancelled or filled to over capacity which may create overcrowding. It is not fair to those who did register early. We also may decline your registration because the class is already full.
Therefore, we have implemented a graduated fee schedule based on the date your registration is postmarked.
We reserve the right to increase class fees at any time.
Class fee may be increased $50.00
approximately 90 days before the class start date and an additional $50.00 approximately 30 days before the class start date. Remember, the class fee listed today may increase later. The class fee you pay will be determined by the date your registration is postmarked . The sooner you mail your registration, the lower your cost.
Please check our refund policy. Refund policy
Registrations will be accepted in order of the postmarked date.
Mail your registration early and you will be in the class.
Wait, and your registration may be returned because the class is full.
Registration is no longer required if you like to gamble. You may show
up un-announced and pay the higher "at the door" fee IF seating is available.
Don't wait until it's too late.
