TIP OF THE MONTH
Do you use canned air to clean your sewing machine? STOP! You really should not be using it. This product just blows all the fuzz and lint deeper into the guts of your machine. It is better to lift your stitch plate, remove the bobbin and bobbin case and use the brush that came with your machine to sweep out all that fluff. Use your tweezers to reach down in and pull the bits of lint out. It might even be worth the investment to get yourself a small vacuum that is meant for this type of cleaning. Better to remove the lint than push it further into your machine! When it is time to get your machine professionally serviced, bring in it! We have the best rates and do all our service work in house.
