Clean your machine girls!!!!



OMG, nearly had a heart attack today! Sewing some boosters and they are a bit thick but usually my walking foot glides through. Well today it kept gettting stuck. Then I broke a needle! Then I got all this thread caught underneath and it wouldn't budge so I had to unscrew the metal plate to get the threads out...... and OMG! The C.R.A.P and dust that had built up underneath! Could not believe it! Haven't really always put the cover back on and my machine is in the same room as the dryer.....

So there you go girls! Put the cover back on your machine after you use it! Know I will be trying to. So embarrassed!

I have always cleaned the lint out but I have never totally unscrewed the plate...hmm.

OMG - I am now imagining all sorts of disasters under my plate - have never cleaned it. Will try and get to it this week - thanks for the encouragement.
