Learning DIY Sewing Machine Repair Techniques Yourself at Home

Have you ever sat down and calculated how much you've paid to a repairman?

If you've paid over $1.00, you've been paying for something you could do yourself.

Let me tell you, I am in no way a technical person at all. I am 63 years old and have very limited knowledge of mechanics and stuff like that.

But, I do have knowledge of budgets and ways to save money. I can tell you that when you learn DIY sewing machine repair techniques you save a LOT of money.

Your profit margin also increases if you have a business and are making a living (like I am) out of sewing.

I've been sewing for over 20 years and absolutely love. Heck, it's my passion and I wouldn't give it up for the world.

However, I can tell you that sewing machines are not perfect and they break down more often than I'd like to tell you.

Imagine if each time your sewing machine broke down for whatever reason, you have to pay around 100 bucks to a repairman?!

Oftentimes you even have to pay the repairman for coming to your house to check it out!

I'm embarrassed to admit it but the reason why I am such a supporter of learning DIY sewing machine repair techniques is because I've actually had to pay a repairman to come to my house and check out my sewing machine to come to find out that I had not threaded the bobbin correctly!

That mistake cost me $59.00!(about 17 years ago so imagine what the price is now!)

But, believe me, I learned my lesson! The best way to learn for a lot of people is by making the pocket feel the mistake and wow did I feel it. At that time, I was starting my sewing business. You know how it is...every dollar counts!

After that mistake, I vowed to learn Do it yourself sewing machine repair techniques and never pay another repairman again. And, I haven't paid another dollar to anyone again!
