Singer Featherweight 221 Maintenance Class
A Spa day for Your 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.
Contact Nova to schedule repair for your machine.
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!! This is MUCH more than just oiling the machine. This is a comprehensive workshop in which all aspects of routine mechanical maintenance are addressed - including motor, and foot controller.
"Tell me, and I forget,
Teach me, and I remember,
Involve me, and I learn." --- Benjamin Franklin
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 maintenance on their machines. "She is a master teacher!"
She carries a full line of Singer Featherweight parts, supplies and products for your machine that are available at the class.
This is Nova's nationally acclaimed workshop!
This class sells out quickly!
Happy students and happy machines!
"Best class I took!" (at Quilt Festival) -- Margaret B.

Refund Policy
Her policy is that a 50% refund will be given up to 2 weeks prior to the class, with no refund after that. No 'credit' for a future class can be given due to the complexities that arise with scheduling, waiting lists, etc.
Switching dates, for any reason, will incur a 25% fee due to the difficulty in restoring seat availability, rosters, etc.
Nova has NO control over refunds, etc. when registration is through a guild, festival, show, etc. Their policies, not Nova's, would be in place.
WAITING LISTS: If a class is full, you will be given the option of signing up for a waiting list. You are NOT registered for the workshop at that point, only on a list to be notified if there is a cancellation. If there is a cancellation, everyone on the waiting list will be notified at the same time. The seat will go on a first come first served basis to the person who registers and pays for the workshop.
