Just take the plate off that is under your needle where the feed dogs are. The tiny areas between those little feet are where it builds up. Mine were like felt pads also. It was so bad, the poor things were not hardly moving. I'm on SS as well, and I just didn't really want to spend as much as I paid for the machine, just to have it cleaned. Or have to buy a new one. I'd rather use every cent I have to buy fabric. LOL
