It is recommended that a sewing machine be serviced at least annually even if the machine has been sitting idle in a closet. Yet, there are some ninety million sewing machines in use.
Incredible, no wonder it costs so much to have a sewing machine serviced.
In addition to the obvious potential of saving hundreds of dollars by doing your own sewing machine services; there is great satisfaction too. Sewing machine technicians are honored professionals in high demand. Hobbyists enjoy great popularity among sewers and quilters.
A common joke among professional technicians is the idea of an added charge for husband help. Since, many people try to work on sewing machines without knowing the proper techniques, it is common for them to make things even worse. Slight misalignments can make a big mess. With proper guidance, instruction, and support, sewing machine repair is quick and easy to learn.
This brings up the need for an effective sewing machine repair course that can be done at home.
A series of such course is available from Dr. David Trumble. He has written several very helpful courses including a free course for beginners entitled 7 Steps To Peak Performance For Your Sewing Machine. His course, My Magnificent Sewing Machine ” Secrets Of Sewing Machine Repair, is a comprehensive course in how to care for, service, and repair sewing machines. In addition to this course, there is a Sewing Machine Tune Up Kit and an Antique Sewing Machine Repair course. For those interested in turning this into a real business, Dr. Trumble offers three helpful business courses.
The sheer volume of materials offered with the Secrets of Sewing Machine Repair course is a treasure. The primary ecourse itself is 240 pages.

The course covers the wide scope of sewing machines including mechanicals through the most advanced computer models including virtually all of the common sewing machine brands. It compares sewing machines with sergers and embroidery machines.
The downloadable PDF format used for the course includes hundreds of vivid full color photos of repairs in progress. The photos, diagrams, and illustrations make learning sewing machine repair quick and easy. They also make referencing specific things very convenient.

By the time you complete the course, you will understand the ten most common sewing machine adjustments, how to complete a sewing machine tune up, how to find replacement parts, and even how to install new parts.
Now you can feel really good about yourself and your skills, when you learn to service and repair sewing machines. You can save loads of money on professional services. You can even start your own profitable part-time or full-time sewing machine repair business.
