The Sewing Doc Academy has three major goals:
1. To help as many people as possible become self-sufficient in troubleshooting, maintaining, and making minor repairs to their sewing machines. We love to help you avoid paying service fees for routine maintenance, driving several hours to a service shop, and eliminating the down time while waiting for your machine to be ready.
2. To replenish the number of skilled folks that can offer their services to their community, either through paid services, such as service business, or through volunteering services, such as supporting a maker space or senior center with machine maintenance. To be of help to your community, you do NOT need to open up a full-blown service shop. I ran my business for the first 6 years from my kitchen table and basement.
3. To contribute to our communities. One of my biggest personal interests is to offer opportunities to those that have a hard time securing and managing stable income. This means people that are previous incarcerated and struggle to find suitable income and discrimination, and for those with disabilities that face similar struggles.
