· Always ensure that you have the correct needle
for the fabric and thread you are using.
· Change your needle after every project, a blunt
needle can put extra pressure on your machine if using heavy fabrics and will
push lint in to your machine with every stitch.
· Before packing your machine away, or once a week
if your machine has a lot of use. Remove the bobbin case and remove any fluff and
lint with a small brush or a cotton bud and use a vacuum nozzle to suck up the
fluff or a can of air to blow fluff away.
· Oil your machine if required. Not all new
machines need oiling. Take a look at your maintenance guide and remember to place
a piece of cloth under the pressure foot to mop up any excess oil while it is not in use.
· Cover your machine when not in use. They are
dust magnets!
