Featherweight Basic Maintenance

In this hands-on class, you’ll disassemble your Featherweight to perform basic cleaning and oiling. You’ll also learn the proper way to clean and grease the gears and motor. Together, we’ll remove the presser feet, faceplate, side plate, spool pin cover, and bottom cover so you can access and service those areas with confidence.
