Do so! I think anyone who hasn't should take his class, like me!
It was very educational listening to Cathy last night. She is a walking encyclopedia of sewing machines and repairs.
I got to play with the darning spring and she had fun making the adjustments that were needed.

First machine that we tried the spring out on was my Singer 201. I was surprised at how well the FMQ turned out on that after she tweaked my bobbin. Then, it was my Necchi Supernova which the spring worked well on it. And after that was my Singer 328k, which was a big surprise for me since i had never FMQ with that machine. Cathy was cute making the adjustments and educating me on what to do. One can see that Cathy's passion and love is in fixing and tweaking machines. Best analogy is a sailor adjusting the sails to his sailboat to get the best sail of his life.
