The other day I stopped to fill a bobbin and this is what I saw when I started to put it back in…..
Then I took the needle plate off and…..
I am normally SO good about keeping my machine cleaned and oiled and I don’t know what happened here!!!

I try to get in there with a pipe cleaner every bobbin change and then pop the cover off every fourth bobbin and give it a good cleaning with a small vacuum. Sews better when it’s clean, doesn’t it?
That is a great habit!!! I definitely need to work on it!!!
I understand that every time we start a new project we should change the needle, then would also be a good time to clean out the lint, etc/
That would be great but I am always so excited about finishing one and starting the next that I I forget to clean!!!
My old 1960’s era Pfaff could sew through bobbin fluff so thick It was felted, the fancy-schmancy Berninna with the shiny bobbin sensors will not, so I have gotten diligent about cleaning and oiling it as It Will. Not. Sew. at all if I don’t.
Sometimes it is good that our machines TELL us what to do!!!
