Just a reminder - all of our New Owner's Classes are FREE!!! They are open to anyone who has purchased a machine of any model from us, regardless of how long ago that purchase was. (We know how busy life can be and how hard it is to remember EVERYTHING!)   The class descriptions are listed when you click on the class - and if you're not sure about whether your machine fits a certain class, just ask! 
We do ask that you register for these classes in advance.  If we don't have at least 2 registered, we will have to reschedule the class.  However, we will be teaching all 4 of the classes several dates and different times every month, so there is sure to be another one scheduled soon.
