Things you will need
-
- 3-IN-ONE® Multi-Purpose Drip Oil
- Clean cloth
- Soft bristled brush
Step 1
Switch off the machine and clean it from the top to the bottom
To start, you will want to unscrew the head cover and dust the inside. Then, gently remove clumps of dust sitting around the mechanisms with a soft bristled brush. Next, remove the needle and dust the bobbin space.
Step 2
Lubricate the connections
Apply no more than one drop of 3-in-one oil to each bearing or connection and wipe away any excess.
Step 3
Reposition all parts back into their housing
Switch the machine on and run it to allow the oil to work its way into the mechanism. When running the sewing machine, use a scrap piece of fabric to soak up excess Drip Oil.
