The 4th Saturday of each month (Do check the Quilt Patch website for any date alterations) (www.thequiltpatch.com)
Bring your FW machine and stuff to sew. Be prepared to enjoy time together with other FW owners making projects and getting together to share in FW stuff. Jean will be there when it's possible to answer questions and maybe work on a project as well. Bring your lunch and be prepared for a fun filled day of relax and sew. If you remember to remind the staff, you'll qualify for 10% off any non-sale purchases that day as well.
FW Basic Maintenance Class - at the Quilt Patch, Tecumseh, Mi (517-423-0053) or Quilts at the Marshall House, Marshall, Mi (269-781-9450)
The Basic FW Maintenance class is an all-day affair where I teach you how to oil, grease and lube your machine. You can purchase the oil/grease/motor lube kit at the class and we'll have your machine all happy and humming. You'll also learn how to thread the machine. I'll set your bobbin tension to the correct spot and you'll be ready to sew up a storm. There is a class maximum for the FW Maintenance Class of 12 students. Get your name on the list early.

ReplyDeleteI would be able to come on Wednesday also
ReplyDeleteI love getting comments from everyone and answering questions you might have as well. But, when your name is 'Unknown', it's really hard for me to personalize my answers. So, send me an email and include your name to be put on the waiting list for the retreats coming up. Thanks so much, all. I hope this helps.
