Sir Snips’ Daily Snippet 🦝🪡
Brush it off, darling.
Unplug the machine before cleaning. Following your machine’s manual, remove the bobbin and open the bobbin area. Use the supplied lint brush or a small soft brush to sweep away lint around the feed dogs, bobbin case, and hook or shuttle area. Skip compressed canned air—it can push debris farther inside—and reassemble everything exactly as your manual directs.
A dust bunny has no business running your stitch department. 😉
When did you last clean beneath the needle plate?
