I got brave last night and took apart a singer. Had my iPad next to me so I could keep track of what I was doing compared to Billy's photos and tutorials. Thank you Billy. You sure made it a lot easier and less scary. Now for the question part. Is there anything I can use to clean besides kerosene? It is still too cold here to clean outside and I really cannot stand the fumes of kerosene in my house. Now that I got brave and took her apart I would like to finish. Thanks again Billy for the great information and the photos really helped a lot.
