Rachelg,
Take the machine out of the cabinet to clean it, there are 2 grub screws holding the machine onto the hinge pins in the cabinet; just unscrew them enough to get the machine out.
I use sewing machine oil and a soft tee shirt to clean the outside of the machine, use care around the decals. Never use any harsh chemicals as they will either silver the decals or remove them completely. Put oil in every hole in the machine and also everywhere the machine moves; put newspapers or an old towel under the machine.
Your machine will use low shank Singer presser feet. She will be so pretty when she's had her spa treatment. I have 2 machines just like yours.
