Everything you need to fix, profit, and take control of inflatable repairs:
3 days · roughly 18 hours of hands-on instruction.
Day 1
Machine setup and threading, feed dog and walking-foot alignment, and stitch fundamentals — length, back tacking, and tension. By the end of Day 1 you've dialed the machine in and finished your first hands-on seam repairs on real vinyl.
Day 2
Advanced seams, zippers and straps, patching and glue done the right way, and window netting on jumpers. You'll reinforce stress points on real inflatables so failures don't come back a week later.
Day 3
Slide blankets, blown internal baffles, and inflation tubes — the repairs that keep expensive units in rotation. Then billing & estimates, building a repair table, and how to run this as a real business.
Students fly in from all over the U.S. because private, 1-on-1 hands-on attention on real inflatables is not something you can get online. You leave with real repairs finished — often on your own units.
Nearest airports: Gainesville (GNV) is about 40 minutes away; Orlando (MCO) and Orlando Sanford (SFB) are about 90 minutes. Rental cars, rideshare, and plenty of lodging are all a short drive from the facility.
The facility is our full-time repair shop — students train around real working repairs, not a classroom.
Every student leaves with the FixMyInflatable Repair Certificate — proof to your customers that you were trained by the #1 inflatable repair class in the world.
You also get lifetime support access — text or call when you hit a repair you haven't seen before. You're never troubleshooting alone.

“Amazing class with a fantastic teacher!”
Students do not just watch repair demonstrations. In class, you get hands-on time learning how to position damaged vinyl, control thick, layered repair areas, and sew real repair patterns using a portable walking-foot machine built around inflatable repair work.
It is a portable single-needle walking-foot setup — the same style of machine used every day on real commercial inflatable repairs. When a repair calls for a second stitch row, you learn to recreate it with a second controlled pass, not by chasing a factory-manufacturing double-needle machine.
The goal is simple: leave class understanding both the repair technique and how to operate the machine used to complete it — on a machine designed for repair work, not factory production lines.
Can't travel yet? The FixMyInflatable online video course teaches the same core repairs on your schedule — 20+ self-paced lessons and the same repair certificate on completion. Many students take the online course first, then travel in for the in-person class to lock the skills in.
BONUS: Online Class FREE
