Tips from the Bench:

  • Service your sewing machine annually. Just like your car, your sewing machine requires regular maintenance to keep it in top working order.
  • Change your needle regularly
  • Check for built up lint around the feed dogs and bobbin case in between service appointments. Remove the lint with a small tweezer or brush. Never use canned air on your sewing machine.
