Your mechanic:
Hello! My name is Nash Page and I'm generally your mechanic for just about everything related to sewing machines and other small equipment relating to the textiles industry. I have experience with just about every straight stitch machine available, and have worked with almost every other form of machine that doesn't solely rely on electronics to run properly. Those are better run through the warranty division of where they are purchased, but I can at least quote them.

My history of working with sewing machines started back in college at NCSU when I was a facilities helper near/around the education and design schools. My primary focus was what was lovingly called the "teaching engineers how to use their equipment" minor, but I also helped maintain the wood, metal, and textiles shop machinery. There's many stories mixed in there, but that's the gist of it.
I apprenticed under Sam Johnson for a few months and got a lot of experience. The experience taught me that there is no standard "rinse and repeat" method to fixing a machine, and that you have to listen to it and work within it to figure out what it needs to be brought back to "life." It's easier and less weird than it sounds, but I get told that I may as well be a wizard by people when I try and explain it.
My background is in History, theater, carpentry, metalwork, and a ton of other random certifications and qualifications that make my resume seem more like the class list of a trade school than the skill sets of one person. There's always more to learn.
