I think in a way this is kinda going overboard but since I service vintage machines it has turned second nature for me to do this each and every time I use one of my machines.

The first thing I do is pull the machine down to get to all of the workings then I make sure all of the lint is out of the works. Then I oil the machine top to bottom, front to back. Essentially I give my machines a complete service before I use it on the next project. Even to the extent of putting my set of gauges on the machine and checking the tensions of the bobbin and feed.
