Virtual sewing machine service training for the home sewist
QuiltCon Special Offers & Info
I hope we got to meet at QuiltCon, but due to high crowd volume,
we wanted an easy place to meet us virtually when it's convenient for you!
Fact #1: Sewing machines need routine maintenance to keep it running properly (and extend its lifespan!), especially if the machine has a computer.
Fact #2: Removing the needle plate, cleaning under and around the bobbin case, and putting a few drops of oil IS NOT SERVICE.
Fact #3: 90% of sewing machines only need the covers removed, cleaning, lubricating, and minor repairs - the exact procedures we teach in this program.
The average routine service in the US is $125 per machine.
For the cost of 2 service appointments, you can maintain an infinite number of machines.
Whether you want to learn to care for your own machines or build a small business, we'll teach you the exact procedures used in our professional shop to help you meet your goals.

"I bought these classes because I have too many machines and the cost to service just keeps increasing. I also dislike to give up my machine "just in case I need it". I successfully maintained this machine and getting ready to start my next one! It was so much easier than I ever expected! I suspect I will get faster once I figure things out."

At the Sewing Doc Academy, we know you are the kind of sewist that wants to be self-sufficient, knowledgeable, and confident in troubleshooting, servicing, and repairing your sewing machine.
You need an expert guide to help you learn proper procedures, but the machine industry has completely shut you out from the training and knowledge, and YouTube videos cannot help you with your specific machine or learning hurdles.
We believe that every sewist deserves to feel confident and capable to service their own machines and offer their services to others. We know that service shops and grouchy technicians even make us feel stupid and unworthy sometimes.
That's why we built the Sewing Doc Academy - to teach you the exact same procedures that professional technicians use every day.
You know your machine better than anyone - you'll be better at caring for it than a stranger!
Are you curious about the ways you can earn money in sewing machine servcie and restoration without having to open up a full blown service shop?

We are putting together a special, live program to show you how we teach people in our programs to earn a little side money, retirement income, or start a business using sewing machine service skills. Join as we give you a peek behind the curtains at how this is possible!
​
This will be an INFORMATIONAL live event. If you are curious about any aspect of machine service and restoration, we highly suggest attending the Open House event above.
​
We do not yet have a date/time set for this event, so join the wait list and you'll be the first to see the announcement!
