Lorraine's Sewing and Embroidery Tips

We recommended that we clean our machines regularly - every three to four bobbins is a good guide.  This means that we need to remove the stitch plate cover, the bobbin and the bobbin case to do a thorough cleaning.  We have had a couple instances in the last little while where the sewer had not put the bobbin case back in properly.
Tip is as follows
-  First remove the presser foot - your manual will probably tell you to remove the needle for your safety - before removing the stitch plate cover.
- Then,we all have cell phones so lets pull it out and take pictures as we go. I like to lay each piece down in the order that it was removed it so that it is easy to back step through the process.
- Before you remove the bobbin take a picture of how it sits in the bobbin case.  Take a picture after the bobbin has been removed showing the exact position of the bobbin case before you start turning the hand wheel to enable you to get in all those areas that need cleaning.  Remember that if you meet any resistance as you are using your brush, STOP, you are not supposed to be going in there any further!  Never blow into the machine or use canned air, you can use a small vacuum attachment.
 - Now that we are sure its clean, take a look at that last picture that you took - it shows you the exact position that the bobbin case needs to be in.  Use the hand wheel to adjust, once you are happy, then assemble your machine, referring to your pictures as you go.
 - Put your needle back in - is it time for a new needle?
 - Re-attach your presser foot and make sure it is in the up position - thread your machine.
