Tip of the Week: Canned air can be used effectively if you know how to use it and most of us do not! However, a small burst of air can effectively and safely clean your needle threader.
Tip of the Week: Never operate the machine with any air openings blocked. Keep ventilation openings on the machine and foot controller free from the accumulation of lint, dust, and loose cloth. (Taken from Singer instruction manual)
Tip of the Week: If your new machine requires less oiling than your old machine it is because the materials to construct the new machine are different! No oiling does not mean no cleaning! You still need to CLEAN your machine between professional service. Check your manual for the manufacturer's recommendations and follow them.
Tip of the Week: If you do not install a walking foot properly you can damage your sewing machine. Make sure the foot you buy is recommended by the manufacturer and comes with directions (written or verbal).
