I have hosted a total of 13 classes for Ray. Most students in the beginner class go through around 3 to 6 machines. In the advanced classes they usually are doing simple to much more difficult and time consuming repairs, so I have seen students go through 4 to maybe 10 machines. (Every year a few students run out of machines so I get some of my garage stash worked on. (Yea for me...free labor! VBG) Hosting one of his classes is a blast.. I get to be the peanut gallery and (lightly) harass him. Another VBG

I am ssssoooooo jealous... I have 6 or 8 old Elna's needing lots of TLC, an old Bernina, a mechanical White zzer, ditto on a Kenmore, a couple Japanese zzers (one needing to find where the extra screws came from... I have some foggy idea the approx area.) I picked up a Singer 306 yesterday and thought I would take it but it works just fine... Oh and I have a 401 with a bent stitch selector shaft... and a Genie. Then there are the old ladies.
What about lunch? What goes for that?
