I started out as a service technician for the Singer company at their service center in Palatine Il. from 1976 through 1979.
On October 1, 1979, I went out on my own and started my business under the name Sew-master co. as a sewing machine repair service only.
In 1981 I started repairing machines at the Yardstick shop in Countryside and Stretch and Sew Fabrics in Western Springs, Palos Heights and Addison, Il. Both the Yardstick shop and Stretch and Sew have since gone out of business.
