Search "vintage sewing machine". Or look for Lostn51-that's Billy, vintage machine expert. If it's not that old, take in for a professional servicing if you can afford it. What brand and model is it? Welcome, btw! Everyone is new at some point. This is a warm, helpful and kind group. You'll love it here.

What year and brand is the machine? It makes a difference on cleaning.

Welcome from TN.
If you can find the model or serial/registration # that will make it easier to help you.

Since you live in Murfreesboro, you might check with MidSouth Sewing there. They are great to work with and can give you some advice I bet.

I live in Jasper, outside Chattanooga, and welcome you to the board!
