I bought a lovely little hand crank Grain Mk1 miniature sewing machine from a junk shop a few months ago, my first vintage machine as an adult.

I really just want to be able to gently remove the rust with a gentle chemical and a q tip or something to that effect. Do you have any advice?

Thank you so much!!!
