Our school had the home economics program years ago and then after it was cancelled the machines just sat there too collecting dust...our principal was wonderful and allowed me to have them serviced 2 years ago for this project...now I am trying to teach the kids how to treat the machines with respect and learn how to use them and clean them and fix the glitches on their own..we spent one day on how to thread etc..so that we can avoid broken needles and frustration...so far they are enjoying it...
