Resources for Sewing Machine Repair

Yahoo groups offer many choices.  Right now my favorites are Vintage Singers and We Fix It. You must be a member but signing up is easy.

I recommend Nicholas Rain Noe's Blog The Vintage Singer Sewing Machine Blog.  He is very good at tutorials and an inspiration

Also check out  My Sewing Machine Addiction blog.  This is a great blog devoted to the restoration from inside out, of a 1940 Singer 201.  

TOOLS. You really have to have the right tools.  Get a set of hollow ground screwdriver bits.  Again, The Vintage Singer Sewing Machine Blog has advice
stitchesintime@earthlink.net = Cindy Peters she has lots of parts and is very knowledgeable.  Email her for questions.  She's busy so give her time.

Facebook

There is a Vintage Sewing Machine group on FB.  It is an open group and members hail from around the world.  There is always something happening on that group

Some folks have a Facebook Page in addition to or rather than, a website.  As I find them I add them here.
Rick Engel who is very smart and also a member of the FB group has a FB page.  Cehck it out
