I can't thank you enough for all the information you guys have provided! I'm excited to start the whole cleaning process. For the Sewing Machine Oil, I can use the clear oil I use on my long arm,right? After looking at some of the links, I do have the little silver cover for the front tensioner--it was in a drawer but I had no clue what it was or where it went. I have a busy day tomorrow with guild and another appt., but between my split shift on Friday, plan to start the cleaning process and sorting the attachments (I have two of those super cool accordion boxes!)and if my Saturday doesn't get gobbled up with mowing pastures, play with it then too. So expect more questions!
