It's good to have it tuned up regularly at your local sewing machine/vacuum repair shop. Annual tune-ups help elongate the life of your machine.

At-home maintenance is important as well. After a big project, take your machine apart:

  • Clean the outside of the machine with a small brush (you can find brushes specific to sewing machine cleaning at a fabric store or sewing machine shop).
  • Remove the needle and sewing plate.
  • Take the bobbin out, and remove any parts that are easily removable.
  • Clean out the fibers that have collected with the small brush.
  • Use an airduster to remove the small fibers, but be careful to point the air AWAY from the machine, rather than blowing the fibers further INTO the machine.

When storing your machine, be sure to keep it covered with a cloth or hard cover. This will shield it from dust and dirt. Store it in a cool, dry environment, and don't store anything on top of it.
