I've tried before to learn how to become a sewing machine repair/maintenance mechanic but came up with: You have to be certified to work on say Bernina so you have to have a quiltshop send you to the place they teach it at(at your expense). Then your only certified to work on those particular machines. If someones machine is under warranty and they have someone non certified to that machine do anything to it it voids the warranties. However if you come up with other options on learning how let me know.
I have to take my machine to a shop that is an hour away.
I even tried the community colleges around and they had nothing.
Great question to ask so hopefully someone will know other ways of learning. I would be very interested. ;)
