Classes: A Creative Sewing Community At Sewing Machine Mart
As sewing has moved away from being a household necessity to produce and mend clothing, sewing has evolved into a form of creative expression — a relaxing leisure activity. Fueled by social media platforms such as Pinterest and Instagram and online sewing tutorials, many find they need to buy a new machine or the right machine for their latest projects. Join the Sewing Machine Mart Classes to learn new skills such as designing and sewing custom garments, embroidering garments, accessories, home decorations, and quilting. Some will start successful home-based businesses using these creative skills.
We send our class schedule out every quarter showing the classes that will be offered. We will also send out a sign up email 2 weeks before each class. Spots are limited so be sure to sign up quickly when they are posted. Please contact us if you are not currently on our email list and we will be glad to add you.
We hope to see you in our classes and charity events! For any questions.
Best regards,

Change My Needle???
Did you know that your sewing machine needle should be changed about
every 6 to 8 hours of use? That is correct. Not 6-8 days, months, or even years, but hours. A needle can get dull at the point. This causes the machine to work harder. It can also lead to larger holes in your fabric. This will causes stitching problems. A needle may also become slightly bent. When this happens, it can cause skipped stitches, thread breakage, and also thread shredding. If you are having any of these issues, try changing your needle. This could be a 50 cent fix for you.

My Machine Has Never Been Serviced!
In my 30 years of being in this business, I have heard that statement numerous times. I almost shudder when I hear it. It seems that a sewing machine is the most neglected piece of machinery around. A sewing machine is a machine. It has moving parts. They will get out of adjustment and require cleaning and lubrication regularly. Just as a vehicle needs to be maintained, so does a sewing machine. I also hear "I don't use it that much." Just as with a vehicle, not using a machine is worse than using all of the time. When mechanical things sit, for an extended amount of time, things dry out and start to deteriorate. The normal service intervals for sewing machines is once every year or two. Keeping a machine serviced will extend the life of the machine and also keep in tip top shape.
