For instance, I learned to change the motor pulley in the early Elna Supers and the cam stack in the Viking 6000 series. (Not that I want to do it again, but I certainly learned how!) At the last class we took, Pam took her serger apart and fixed it.

Yes, Ray's classes are expensive, but if you fix one or two machines yourself, it's paid for itself.
