After taking a Featherweight Maintenance class today, I realize someone could make a fortune selling sewing machine repair kits complete with tools needed for repair,...
Tom W. replied:
Several people do sell such kits. Nova Montgomery cones immediately to mind.
Maria H. replied:
Mine was in Bozeman, MT with April and Carmon from The Featherweight Shop, formerly April's 1930
Debbie M. replied:
Nova Montgomery and The Featherweight Shop both sell kits and replacement parts. Both are amazing.
David W. replied:
We sell a kit that goes along with our class (which I taught again today!). Students use everything in the kit during our class. Four screwdrivers perfectly sized for FW screws, including our special screwdriver to remove AND RETAIN the gib screw so you don't lose it. We found this kit saves the whole class from wasted time playing screwdriver roulette and jumping up to get the parts they need. http://www.quilters-connection.com/shop/product/featherweight-maintenance-full-kit/
Maria H. replied:
I took the class with April and Carmon as well. Loved it. And am all tooled up and ready to go with all of my machines thanks to them.
