Ditto, from everything I've read WD-40 is not good for sewing machines.

I completely with the above statement...and I would call the "doctor" and advise him that his advice is more dangerous than helpful.......

What a cool idea!! Now I bet that guy/gal is really busy. Where/how did you find him? Maybe we all have one in our cities but we just don't know it !!!

Please don't use WD40. Mom and I bought Pfaffs in the 70's and it was the thing to use WD40 on them. Needless to say they became sticky and gunky and was a real mess. The dealers soon learned it was not the thing to do. I know this from experience.

House calls AND good looking---you hit the jackpot! Reminds me that I HAVE to take my Janome in for servicing after the first of the year...it is SO overdue he may call sewing machine social services...I've neglected my family. LOL

A doctor who still makes house calls! I love the idea that I don't have to take my machines in somewhere and have them just sit for 2 weeks waiting for it to be their turn. This is the first time I have used this person but he has great reviews. He is actually listed as the "Sewing Machine Doctor". I'll let you know how it goes.

Send that man to Texas!
