I took out the bobbin, cleaned that area, oiled it, put in a new needle and wiped down the case...wow...it sounds so contented...it hums nicely as I stitch along.
I know I don't change needles often enough.
I think I'll fill a few bobbins with neutral thread now. It's always nice to have one ready when you run out as you are trying to finish something.
It's a new year - does your machine need a new needle and a bit of TLC?
: ) Just did this very thing today. It is amazing how much better it sounds.
ReplyDeleteI should probably at least clean out my bobbin case, now that you mention it. Good idea filling several bobbins. I just bought a new spool of thread to start a new quilt - should get some bobbins ready so I don't have to stop and do that mid-project.
