<p class="has-text-align-center">We all know that cleaning our sewing machines is important to keep our sewing machines running properly. Regular maintenance with a qualified dealer is essential. We need to clean our machines after each project. Sometimes in the middle of a project if the project produces a lot of lint or fluff.</p>



<p class="has-text-align-center">When we clean our machines, we can easily forget the feed dogs. In this picture I purposely didn&#8217;t clean the lines of the feed dogs for a couple of projects to get some build up to show you.</p>

<p class="has-text-align-center">Another place we forget to clean is the bottom of the bobbin case. Again it isn&#8217;t much fluff, but it can make a difference.</p>



<p>Happy Sewing!</p>
