I have a friend who brought over her sewing machine for me to check it out for her. She had it a bit ove a year and a half. I asked her how long it had been since she changed her needle. She sort of looked funny and said I never even thought about it. We cleaned ,oiled and put in a new needle and now its working like a charm.
I find out to check the simple things first.

When you blow you just push things in those private places (on the machine) that you can't get at. At this time I can't afford to take my machine into a professional. I only have the one machine and I sure don't want her to get sick. I think that she works fine and I don't want to do anything that will give her a problem. Is there a special oil you are supposed to use? Thanks and please don't think bad of me for not yet doing preventive care. I will be waiting to read you answers. Brenda
