Tech tip #4
Change your needle often!
Needles are inexpensive but can make a huge difference to your machine working well and your project turning out nicely.
Make sure you had the correct type of needle in the correct orientation for your machine. Ensure it is fully seated upwards before tightening the needle clamp.

Schmetz and Organ are the best brands with over 100 years experience each.

I sell a 5 pack of $7.50 and can answer questions if you have any.

Tech Tip #3
Remove your needle plate regularly and remove the fuzz and debris that builds up underneath it.
I have seen many machine that have felt under them as the fuzz is packed so tight it turns to felt.
This prevents the feed dogs from lifting through the needle plate properly and can make your machine noisy.

Tech Tip #2

If you are going to be not sewing for a number of months it is a very good idea to turn the machine by hand a few rotations every couple months. Even better would be to plug it in and run it for 1 full minute with no thread.

This allows the oil and grease to warm up and stay in the bushings and gears that it needs to be in.

Oil can separate and grease can get hard and make the machine stick where it was left last.

Many machines come my way that have been sitting for a long time and they are good and stuck.

Tech tip #1

Make sure you have the correct bobbin for your machine and it is smooth all the way around the outer rim.

Using plastic bobbins or metal bobbins in the correct machine makes a huge difference.
Any top loading bobbin should be plastic.
Almost all front loading bobbins should be metal or specific Bernina sensor bobbins.

If there are any questions on what is correct, call or email and I’ll do my best to help.
