Hello. I am not a quilter. I do like sewing and mainly do costumes. Someone on a blog stated that here is a good place for someone that wants to learn to fix sewing machine to ask questions. So, I am interested in learning to fix sewing machines. I am looking for suggestions on great books to learn the basics and beyond. So please give me your tips. Thanks.

"How to Select, Service, Repair & Maintain Your Vintage Sewing Machine" by Connie McCaffery is a very thorough book. She also has a book on rewiring vintage machines. It's available on Amazon and on her website:

I got McCaffery's book just a little too late. I am a gear head and learned a great deal from diivng in. If I hadn't had the experince it would gave been of great value to me. At it was, it gave me a few more hints.
