Welcome to our workshop and classes page. In 2024, in addition to our standard one-day 221 Featherweight, Singer 301, and Singer 400/500 Series Slant classes, we will have our two-day Advanced 221 Featherweight Workshop three time throughout the year.

Many of these workshops are scheduled during the summer so we hope to see some of our friends from out of the area visiting and attending these exciting classes. See below for class details.

If you have a group and would like to request a workshop on a certain date shoot us an email (on the Contact page) and let us know.
Quilters Connection offers classes on maintaining and servicing your vintage sewing machines, especially the Singer Featherweight and Singer 301. These machines were designed and built to be oiled frequently. Why pay a service professional to do the work when you can have fun and save money doing it yourself!

You will learn how to disassemble, clean, reassemble, lubricate, and adjust your machine for maximum performance.

If you have a Guild or group and would like to arrange a class at your location, contact us to discuss your ideas and needs.
