and it is recommended that you clean your machine (under the bobbin & surface) with EVERY BOBBIN CHANGE.
if you follow these two recommendations you will cut down on alot of aggrivation during your projects :thumbup:
This is great advice and what I do. And it's not only the aggravation that will reduce, it's also strain on the motor of your machine. I also use Schmetz needles which are very good quality - I can't get them locally so I buy a few packs at a time mail order - perhaps Up North you could do that? :-D
