One more thing I would add to the list of items needed to clean/repair your machine are latex gloves. Have ick under nails I can't get out. Oh well, I had fun.
I hear you! I spent hours yesterday cleaning the Singer treadle. There is a lot of soreness in my fingers and hands now from pushing hard to get the grime off. I still have another day's work left. It looks so much better already though! Keep at it!
