Eric Drexler not only worked 27 years for Sulky, he has also been a sewing machine mechanic for over 40 years and wants to share his love for the Singer 221 Featherweight. Yes, they are his baby too. He will walk you through how to take off all the covers, where to oil, and replace a few worn parts. For the first time Eric will offer this course all day to have extra time to service the hook, inspect motor brushes, and much more in depth than just the beginner class. It is not only educational but fun too. Lots of discussion along the way about do’s, don’ts and what to watch out for. Your baby will certainly run and look a lot better.
