So,
I just finished that huge bumble bee quilt (and a couple of other small projects) and realized that I haven't cleaned and oiled either machine since I bought them (Bad Jessica!) but the oldest one is really only 6 months old. (Don't hit too hard!)
So I got the manuals out for both of them, cleaned as instructed, but NO WHERE in EITHER manual did it say anything about oil! As a matter of fact it said not to oil a particular part of the bobbin area.
Am I doing it wrong?
(OMG the lint that came out -- almost gagged a little)
