You love your little Featherweight. Now learn the best way to clean and maintain it. This will not be a repair lesson, but it might help you avoid the need for repairs.
Emails Linda at lindascholten@yahoo.com with your machine’s two letter-six number serial number (found underneath the machine near the extension bed) at least two weeks before the class. Linda will provide the approximate era of manufacture for the machine at class time.
