DO NOT USE CANNED AIR ON YOUR SEWING MACHINE!!!!!!  YOU ARE ONLY BLOWING THE DIRT AND LINT BACK INTO THE MACHINE.   USE A VACUUM MACHINE MINI ATTACHMENT TO VACUUM OUT LOOSE DIRT.  Q-TIPS ARE FINE FOR PICKING OUT LOOSE LINT, DIRT & THREAD.

 

USE ONLY WHITE (CLEAR) MACHINE OIL.  SEE YOUR MANUAL.   NO WD-40 OR 3-1 OIL    I WOULD SUGGEST CLEAN MACHINE AND CHANGE NEEDLE AFTER EVERY PROJECT!!!!!    THIS IS CHEAPER THAN A REPAIRMAN SERVICE.
