Repairing Sewing Machines Complete Guide + Start a Repair Business
The cost and inconvenience of taking your sewing machine to a repair shop for maintenance, adjustment and repair are in the past !
Now, if you can operate a sewing machine and/or are the least bit mechanically inclined, you can do it all yourself.
You'll learn how all types of sewing machines (both straight-stitch and zig-zag) operate —in nontechnical language. Then, clear step-by-step instructions show how to check electrical components, adjust drive belt tension, clean and oil. Select needles and sewing materials, regulate the machine for best performance, and properly set stitch and presser regulators—procedures that apply to any sewing machine.
Literally any type of repair, from a variety of adjustments to complete disassembly and reassembly, will be a "snap" on any machine, with the detailed information and illustrations supplied. Many frustrating problems, such as keeping the shuttle and needle timed as they should be… will be easy for you to solve.
Additional adjustment and repair instructions and tips will help you solve dozens of specific problems in Brother. New Home. Pfaff and White machines. Each fault is listed by a simple description of the trouble, and the steps necessary to correct it are offered. Of course, all of these repair procedures are equally applicable to comparable types produced by other manufacturers, and will help you perform any sewing machine repair in short order.
