So far every place that I have managed to open on my machine is nice & clean, except tonight I vacuumed out the accumulated dust under the feed dog area. My machine looks like it is stitching perfectly but once the area is finished & I look at it, it seems to be a little gathered. I am not wanting to take all the front tension disks off if at all possible. Can someone please post to show me where to be looking here for specifically the Featherweight, rather than just other vintage machines?
I just look at a FW as any other vintage machine. I just start with googling information on the machine to see if anyone has posted helpful info. If little can be found, then I just start cleaning it like a Singer 15 or 201.
Take pictures of the before removing screws or items, just in case you can't remember how to get it back together again.
Miriam has the best posting on QB for FW cleaning. Enjoy your FW!!! They're such cute machines.
