TRAINING TAKES TIME
For the first time, the 2023 shows will feature a unique show floor training program for sewn products equipment. Brought to life by SPESA members Merrow Sewing Machine Company and the Industrial Sewing and Innovation Center (ISAIC), the training will demonstrate valuable sewing machine repair and maintenance tailored for mechanics, operators, and facility managers, including gasket changing and carrier adjustment. In addition to hands-on demonstrations, the training will utilize augmented reality tools to illustrate how these training methods can be expanded and used effectively across the Western Hemisphere. This training, valued at $1,800 regularly, will be available FREE for show attendees.
The latest issue of Behind the Seams includes an FAQ memo to help interested show attendees learn more about the training. Read more.
Training Takes Time will take place within the Career and Training Center on the show floor alongside additional resources provided by the Textile Technology Center at Gaston College.
