Singer 301 Two-day Advanced Workshop

This thirteen-hour class over two days will cover everything the user needs to know to maintain her Singer 301 in top working order. This is a hands-on, advanced level class in which you will bring your own Singer 301, and learn the following:

Day one covers the basics:

• Complete user-level disassembly
• Stray thread removal
• Cleaning
• Checking the electrical
• Oiling
• Greasing the motor and gears
• Reassembling
• Servicing the foot controller
• Adjusting tensions and test sew-out.

• Hook to needle adjustment
• Needle bar height adjustment
• Hook timing

• Presser foot adjustment
• Motor service
• Top thread tension disassembly and reassembly
• Overview of electrical system

• FAQs

The only prerequisites are having a Singer 301 and knowing how to thread and sew with it. Each attendee will be required to bring a machine and pay for the class - no auditing allowed. Class size will be 8 or less to allow for plenty of individual instruction.

Properly fitted screwdrivers are essential for maintenance without damaging the machine, and to keep up with the class. A maintenance tool and service parts kit is sold separately for $69 as a part of this class. If you bring your own tools or parts we are willing to credit you for whatever you don't need to keep. Please be prepared to purchase the required kit on the day of the class.

NOTE: This class will be held at our shop, at:
7348 Fair Oaks Rd SE
Olympia, WA 98513
