Did you know your machine should be cleaned and oiled after every 8 hours of sewing? Lord Owen has been a sewing machine collector and maintainer for a number of years. He has offered to hold a maintenance workshop on Saturday February 15th. It will be held from 11am-4pm at 1105 Shady Avenue in Point Breeze. Bring your sewing machine and learn basic cleaning & oiling and give your machine a good spa treatment. This will help keep your machine running smoothly. If you have questions you can contact me by email to: sewing at debatablelands dot org, or send email to Hara Kikumatsu. You can find the address in the dark pages. There are two resident cats, so medicate appropriately.
