Dear Friends, My name is Tony Asef and I started my own sewing machine business 25 years ago. At that time, I had little knowledge of repairing sewing machines. I can well remember looking around for someone to teach me all the ins and outs, all the tricks of sewing machine repair. But unfortunately no books were available! After 21 years in this business, I have decided to write down all my hard-earned knowledge and tricks-of-the-trade in this step-by-step book. I want to teach other people how to do their own sewing machine repairs at home for themselves or as a business. As we all know, sewing-machine repair is one of the fastest growing businesses in the world today. Newspapers, women’s magazines, dry-goods stores, high schools and colleges are all encouraging millions of American women to do their own sewing, not only to make their own slacks, suits, shirts, sweaters, etc, clothes, but also to make nice clothes for their husbands, sons, or boyfriends. Statistics now show the tremendous growth in the number of women who make their own family wardrobe. The latest figures show that over 89 million American women, because of the high costs of ready-to-wear garments or the undesirable workmanship of store-bought clothes, are now making almost all of the clothing for their families. Now is the time when a sewing machine specialist can write his or her own ticket. Never before has the money-making opportunity been so great in this field, if you know what you’re doing. And this is not to mention, it is also a very prestigious occupation. But that’s not all. Most of these women find true enjoyment and satisfaction making the family wardrobe on their own sewing machine. So it is only natural that the demand for excellent service on sewing machines is on the upswing and growing by leaps and bounds. Think of it! Eighty-nine million or more sewing machines, not including another 10 million sewing machines in schools of all sorts, (such as grade schools, high schools, colleges, schools for the deaf, the handicapped, all across the land, just to name a few). And what about the sewing machines in hospitals, prisons, homes of correction, tailor shops, women’s shops, children’s homes and old folks’ homes … the list could go on and on! All these sewing machines need service at least once a year and quite possibly four or more times each year. I’m well aware that some women are forced to return their sewing machines to repairmen time after time trying to get it fixed properly. Not all, by any means, but many so-called sewing-machine specialists, simply do not have the knowledge or the know-how to correctly set up, adjust and retime the modern sewing machine. I’ve seen sewing machines come out of repair shops in worse shape than they were when they went in, and I am sure that thousands of women could say "Amen" to that statement. So for the above reasons, I decided to write a complete guide to sewing-machine repair and teach people how to repair their own sewing machines at home. On the very first day, you will find that our simple training method is amazing. I ume that you have had no previous experience with the repair of sewing machines. However, if you have had experience, you will learn how to use your knowledge to the best advantage. Your training will be practical from first page to the end of the book. It is based on the proven methods of the top sewing-machine technicians. I will teach you everything you need to know. Admittedly, the book is predominantly about sewing machines with just four of the 70 pages pertaining to. have gone to great lengths to include sharp and clear pictures along with the copy, so there is no need to flip pages back and forth in order to find the picture that goes with the text. There will be pictures of many different sewing machines, as well as illustrations of sewing-machine pails, proper adjustments, cleaning, and timing, etc. It’s clear, and it’s simple.
