Do you use yours? I've done some test sandwiches and this machine will be perfect as my FMQ machine. It does nice work. However, I find servicing the bobbin area a bit of a challenge. I can change the bobbin easy enough but if I want to remove all the guts to brush out the lint, it's quite a production. And I find it very hard to get the shuttle hook seated correctly in particular. Any hints?

I wish it were immaculate!
To be honest, I don't use this machine at all. So, I only cleaned it up and oiled it. The machine was fairly clean when I found it. The collar and hook were both rusty (and the bobbin too) but none of the rest of the machine has/had any rust. Very strange. So although the machine runs really well, I've yet to soak those parts in Evaporust and clean them up. It's definitely a long overdue project so your post has reminded me to get on it.
