I've read many articles and stories about how,  when the times get tough and the economy goes for a slide, people dig out the sewing machines and get back to the basics.  Repair jobs on garments are done to extend the life of the garment, seamstresses start doing more sewing rather than buying the expensive store bought items, and even those who don't know how to sew begin to learn the art of sewing.

Anyway you look at it, this type of economy is a boon to those of us in the sewing machine repair business.  My husband began his sewing machine repair business after retiring from the Air Force many moons ago, when my sewing machine started having some problems.  We've been through several of the "ups and downs" in the economy, and every time we've been so thankful that he was in a business where there was no slump - in fact business GREW because of the downsided economy.

For those of you who have even the slightest bit of mechanical ability - and even those who don't - I'd highly recommend my husband's clearly written home business manual, Sewing Machine Repair As A Home Business.  He tells you how to get started, explains in detail how to do probably 95% of the repairs that would be needed, and even tells how to get FREE advertising for the business.

The links above will take you to our SewMachineRepair.com site where you can get all the information on how to start your own home business repairing sewing machines.   And from what we've been hearing, there is a definite NEED for sewing machine repairmen and women all over the country.
