To oil your MACHINES!
I always seem to forget untill the poor machine is yelling at me.... Then I realize how LOUD it was and hope that it dosnt hate me for long afterwards!!!
I tore apart my serger case this evening, and oiled up everything I could get to, and oh my does it sound like magic!
My normal machine just got oiled a few days ago. I should have done the serger then!!!
But yah... Love and adore your machines!!!
Who else forgets??? LOL

Tue, November 4, 2008 - 3:29 AMI try to do it once a week if I've sewn the whole week.
It is very important to do this(like putting oil in your car-very important to check often)

Tue, November 4, 2008 - 11:21 AMYou machine manual should tell you what parts of your machine to oil (sewing machine oil can be bought anywhere that sells basic sewing supplies). If you don't have the manual for your machine, try looking for a version online - every machine is different. -

Tue, November 4, 2008 - 1:18 PMAnd if you don't have sewing machine oil I have found that olive oil works just as good to lubricate the machine. Don't know if there are any long term issues but I have done it for prolly for the past year on my serger without any problems.
