<div><span style="font-size: 20.0px;color: rgb(0,0,0);font-family: Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For every stitch your machine makes, the hook makes one complete revolution. As the hook makes a revolution on front loading machines, there is constant friction between the hook and the hook race. As the hook makes a revolution on top loading machine, there is constant friction between the bobbin case and the hook race. It is impossible to completely eliminate this friction-- it is intrinsic to the design of your sewing machine. That said, you can reduce the friction with a drop of oil.</span></div>

<div><span style="font-size: 20.0px;color: rgb(0,0,0);font-family: Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We suggest that you use canned air to clean the lint and dirt out of your machine. All of our technicians use a gigantic air compressor to clean out machines, so we suggest you do the next best thing, which is canned air.</span></div>
<div><br></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 20.0px;color: rgb(0,0,0);font-family: Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now, there is a rumor pervading the sewing community that canned air is bad for the machine. I promise you that this is not true. Air cannot damage wires, loosen screws, or throw critical settings out of whack. I've heard people say they don't use canned air because it blows lint further into the machine. I suppose there is a sense in which this is true-- when you blow lint out of the hook area, some it may travel deeper into the machine. However, because of the way sewing machines are designed, that lint will likely fall to the bottom of the machine and sit on the bottom of the plastic cover. When you eventually bring it in for service, our technicians will take off the covers and get all the lint out of there.</span></div>
<div><br></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 20.0px;color: rgb(0,0,0);font-family: Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There are a few specific places to focus on when blowing out the machine. Whether you have a front loading machine or top loading machine, you definitely want to remove the bobbin case blow out the hook assembly area. It is important to remove the bobbin case, because tons of impacted lint can get stuck underneath, as seen in the video below:</span></div>

If lint builds up between your upper tension disks, it will throw the tension balance out of whack and cause poor stitch quality. So, raise the presser foot to separate the tension disks, then blow air in between the disks to clear out all that lint.</span></div></div></div>
