I decided I better give Millie a good cleaning. The nook assembly area collects lint from the fabric and batting when I sew the quilts. It's recommended that you clean it out after every 2 or 3 quilts. Oops....
Well, she's clean now.
She got WD-40 bath, took a spin to spread the WD-40 around, and I collected the drips of WD-40 and bits of flotsam and jetsam that came out.
I used a microfiber cloth to wipe all around the hook assembly area, and even took the thread plate off to clean WD-40 off of the underside of it.
I replenished the oil, and ran the machine without thread to spread the oil around, and then wiped off the excess.
She should be a happy camper stitcher now!
Millie surely breathed a sigh of relief and a whisper of thanks to you for the cleaning! I should go check my Bernina for fuzz.
ReplyDeleteHugs!
Getting the fuzz out is very important. I had a machine catch fire from an electrical short and too much fuzz in the inner workings!
DeleteWell done!
