Are there any colleges that offer courses in sewing machine repair?
I want to learn how to fix home sewing machines. The courses I found offered for sale online seem iffy. Is there any college or university or some techinical school that offers a course on sewing machine repair?
Mostly, you apprentice yourself to a local repair person, and eventually, you get sent for training with one of the brands the shop carries.
Ray White, who is a retired Elna specialist, runs short courses on machine repair that seem to be well thought of: http://www.whitesewingcenter.com/index.php
