April 16th Guild Meeting Program -- Sewing Machine Care

There is nothing more frustrating than to have to put your project on pause because your sewing machine must go to the trauma center for care. April's program will feature 911 Power Tool with an informative class on sewing machine care. Sewing machines are expensive and taking care of them between professional visits is important to keep your machine in top working order. This program will focus on generic cleaning and oiling points. It will also include an overview of common causes for problems and how to prevent them. No matter what type of sewing machine you own, you can learn how to take better care of it.

When -- Monday, April 16th, 7:00 PM
Where -- Gmeiner Art & Cultural Center, Wellsboro, PA

All MLQG members and visitors welcome!
