Sewing Machine Mainten
ance When was the last time
you serviced your machine, as re
commended in the owner’s man
ual? Sewing machines are sensi
tive to accumulations of lint, dust
and thread pieces which collect in
the moving parts of the machine.
Lack of proper oiling and lubricat
ing can also interfere with opti
mum machine performance.' If
your machine starts sluggishly, is
noisy, makes loose or skipped
stitches, maybe it’s time for a
thorough cleaning. Why not bring
in your machine and learn the bas
ic maintenance procedures, in
cluding tension and pressure ad
justment.
Participants are requested to
bring the following items to class;
sewing machine, sewing machine
oil, tweezers, brush for cleaning
machine parts, screwdrivers (the

threaded bobbin, spool of thread
and small piece of scrap fabric to
test thread tension, and your user

My New Weigh Of Life
Lose weight for a lifetime. Penn
State’s College of Agricultural
Sciences has introduced a weight
management program designed to
help people shed pounds per
manently.
“Although many people lose
weight on traditional diets and
weight-control plans, 95 percent
gain the weight back,” says Dr.
Madeleine Sigman, assistant pro
fessor of food science and a regis
tered dietitian. To address the
problem, Sigman developed “My
New Weigh of Life” a program
that teaches participants to inte
grate weight loss into theur life
styles. “Managing your weight is a
personal issue,” Sigman says. “To
be permanent it must become part
of your life.”
The program grew out of cur
rent research into theories about
obesity, weight loss and coping
management Participants are giv
en accurate, up-to-date informa
tion abdtit food, nutrition and ex
ercise. They are encouraged to re
cognize their own needs and
choices and to be more physically
active. Participants also leant how
to lower the fat content of favorite
recipes. The program’s philo
sophy is that there aie'no forbid
den foods, only those a person
might choose to eat less often and
in smaller amounts. By keeping a
diary of their food intake and
mood patterns, participants identi
fy behaviors that have led them to
overeat. Record keeping also
helps them set realistic goals.
For permanent results, the pro
gram calls for a slow loss of
weight Vi to 2 pounds per week.
Enrollees must eat three meals
daily. “If you don’t eat for a long
time during the day, your body
signals to itself that whatever
comes in next should be stored as
fat” says Sigman. “If you skip a
meal to lose weight, you actually
are defeating the purpose.” To
ward the program’s end, partici
pants are shown how to cope with
relapses and how to establish a
weight-maintenance support
group. Class Limit: IS. Instructor;
Beryl Frey. Cost: $55.
