Ok so has you can see it has been rather a long time since I have put pen to paper so to speak but have been rather busy. 

How about we start with a clean page for 2017 and look to write a blog at least once a week tat is poss to much to soon lets make a promise to write once a month at leastand see how we get on.

As we already discussed before my passion is very much Sewing Machines
both Domestic and Industrial. I find it most rewarding when I able to get a sewing machine working that has been sitting around in  a cupboard under the stairs or perhaps even  some dark corner up in the attic for years.

For 2017 Artizan Training have some brand new coursesfor sewing machine repairs planned both at our training school in Kent and on line. If you are a school or college we have our two in one this is a one day course we provide at your establishment.Wish to have more information on this course please contact one of the team

Speak Again Soon

I have been fixing a range of interesting Industrial Machines during the last few weeks. From a Carpet Whipper to a Juncker Industrial Sewing Machine what are they you may well ask ..........

A Carpet Whipper
If you have ever seen the edge of a carpet piece with what appears to be closley stitched wollen edge this would have most likley been stitched by a heavy duty carpet edge (whipper) overlocker. Karpet King is the most popular and robust of this style of machine although an old Singer 81K Carpet Whipper can still do a good job.

A Juncker
is a machine used for out sole stitching, most of them are normaly lockstitch. Sole stitching comes in many forms and this one is a very odd beast as it is chain stitch and is used for stitching leather soles to the uppers.
​
It is realy great to have the chance to work on all these interesting Industrial machines,  as my specialist field is Leather and Heavy Duty Machines as I started in this industry as a closing mechanic with  C & J Clarkes at there head office in street, in the west country

I have since been involved in servicing and repairing a whole range of both domestic and industrial machines. Plus I can  now also add to my list, Long Arm computerised Quilting Machines that are used for the Patchwork and Quilting Creators to finish off there amazing quilts. The versions I specialise in are where the head moves in an x y axis to a pre programmed pattern produced by a computer so the quilt is secured to rollers Check out APQS or Gammill.

I have already mentioned we offer a number of training courses on how to repair domestic sewing machines based in Surry in the UK. However, I thought some of you might be interest in our NEW one-week course held in Spain nearest airport Malaga in the amazingly beautiful region of Andalucia.

Our Five-day Domestic Lockstitch Course Level 1-4 is being offered for a very special price of £495, all inclusive of 5 nights lodging, meals, 5 days training, and all course materials. (NOT INCLUSIVE OF TRANSFERS OR FLIGHTS)
