Instructor: Annette Poole
Details:
Singer Featherweights. Prized by quilters for their timeless and classic beauty, ruggedness, light weight, and beautiful stitching. Do you have a new-to-you Featherweight but unsure how to keep it running at its peak performance? We can help!
In Part I, you will learn the basics on how to care for your Featherweight. We’ll cover where to oil and grease the machine, what to use to clean it, how to grease the motor, balance the bobbin tension and more. You will be amazed at how your machine purrs when it’s maintained properly.
