It is a long time since we have spoken to some of you, so we thought it was time to give you an update.
Artizan Training – who are we? Well, that’s a very good question.
We are small team of like-minded people who have a lifetime of experience within the sewing machine repair industry with a passion for passing on our knowledge and expertise to the next generation of sewing machine mechanics. When we say next generation, we are encompassing all young and old or shall we say more mature.
This Industry is still growing, and in urgent need of new blood to keep the wheels turning. There is currently a big gap in the industry, where a large percentage of qualified and skilled sewing machine mechanics, for both the domestic and industrial sectors have retired. Taking this into consideration we concluded we needed, to address this situation with some speed before these skills are lost.
Our range of training programmes are suitable for the complete novice, to those of you who already have some prior knowledge in this field. Over the years we have worked hard on improving the delivery of our training programmes and constantly look to add new and innovative ways we can deliver much need technical information, and training programmes worldwide.

Monday to Friday 10am – 4pm 22nd – 25th September 2025
Location Hartfield
As you will be aware yes most modern machines use electric to run the motor, however things have moved on at a lighting pace and in the domestic sewing machine sector there is now a wide selection of different sewing machines some of these are now Electronic and others are even more complex as they are computerised.
Therefore, we concluded that it was time we designed a course that would enable you to fix some of the problems that can transpire with these types of machines.
Just like mechanical sewing machines the main structure of movements and motions are the same as you will experience in an electronic or computerised machines. The main differences are that the main pattern selections are often at a press of a button or slide controls, or touch scroll as you would on a modern computer.
These will have been programmed into the main computer board in manufacture with several additional features to adjust stitch width, stitch length, speed, and tension built into the adjustment features.
All sounds a bit complicated, but our training programme will teach you stage by stage how to make some of the adjustments and to be able to diagnose and where possible reset to default settings if required.
