I clean the tracks on my Nolting with alcohol. Some people use a silocone spray, sprayed on a cloth and then rubbed on the tracks.

Alcohol. Remember to clean the wheels with it too.

I clean the tracks and the wheels on my HQ16 with a damp paper towel every time I use it. It is in the basement and though I keep it covered it still gets dusty.

Also check for thread caught in the wheels.

Thanks Guys,

Can I ask what type of alcohol.....rubbing alcohol maybe?

i am in the UK and we don't use that much here.

It must be rubbing alcohol. Rubbing alcohol is sold in pharmacies here, in a plastic container, on shelving near the hydrogen peroxide. Probably somewhere in the area where bandages are sold.

What is a gracie II?

I usually wipe them down before quilting with SM oil...just a tad not much, mine get dusty from fabric and thread

It is a type of machine quilting frame.
