I know what you mean.....I started sewing at age 10, and I don't remember ever seeing my mom clean our machine or have it serviced. And we replaced a needle when it broke, and I didn't know any better until I started embroidering by machine (before I started quilting). I think that is how it was with my mom too. I need to go down to see if her machine needs cleaning today, and I know her bobbin winder doesn't work anymore. I need to check that out too..... Is there ever enough hours in the day?
