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.
