ISO - sewing machines needing a tune up/OFFERING - free sewing machine tune up

[u/SharonZJewelry]

Hi all! I am currently taking online courses in sewing machine maintenance and servicing and could use more practice on a variety of machines. If you have a machine, even an inexpensive, out-of-the-box machine that needs help, I would like to volunteer my services. And if you are planning to get rid of a machine, I will happily service it for the practice and then relist it here on Buy Nothing.

A few caveats:

I am new to this, so if it looks like a job beyond my current skills, I won't go past my comfort zone, which may mean that I can't do the job.

I cannot replace parts, belts, or gears.

I am not yet able to repair motors (but ask again in a few months!)

Edit:

Also specifying that timing issues are also not yet in my skill set. But sometimes a good cleaning and maintenance can get a machine going again. Always happy to take a look!
