Nova Montgomery's
Singer Featherweight 221 Maintenance Class
"A Spa Day for Your Featherweight™!"
This is a comprehensive workshop in which all aspects of routine mechanical maintenance are addressed - including motor, and foot controller. Nova approaches this workshop from the perspective of a Featherweight user who wants to preserve and protect their machine, but does not have an intricate knowledge of the mechanical workings of the machine. She guides her students through correct maintenance while educating them about their wonderful machines. Nova not only teaches her students the "What" and "How", but also the "Why" of each step of proper maintenance.
These fantastic little machines were so well engineered that the owner could (and should!) provide the maintenance they need. In this workshop, participants will learn how to correctly disassemble, clean, and reassemble their beloved Featherweights. Yes, they will sew (and sew beautifully) when you are done!! There is MUCH more to maintenance than merely oiling the machine. This is a maintenance workshop designed to teach the care that these machines require on a regular basis. Machines that are in need of repair may not participate in this workshop until they have been repaired.
