THIS WILL NOT BE A "MAINTENANCE" CLASS BUT A DISASSEMBLE, REASSEMBLE, CLEAN, POLISH, AND REPAIR. YOU WILL LEARN HOW TO REMOVE EVERY PIECE OF THE MACHINE NECESSARY TO REFURBISH, INSIDE AND OUT, HOW TO REASSEMBLE AND ADJUST, AND MAKE IT SEW AGAIN*. Due to time constraints we usually do not remove upper main shaft or feed dog linkages.
